BOSTON ¦Emmanuel Music’s 2014-15 season will shine the spotlight on composers at the crossroads of stylistic change. The season begins with the East Coast premiere of the chamber orchestration of John Harbison’s Crossroads, based upon poet Louise Glück's A Village Life. There will be a pre-concert conversation at 7 p.m. with John Harbison, Crossroads composer; Louise Glück, poet, A Village Life; and John Heiss, revered Boston teacher, conductor, and composer.
This inaugural concert celebrates four lyrical composers at the height of their craft and launches Emmanuel Music’s Mendelsson/Wolf Chamber Series with the virtuosic early works of these two prodigies. Mendelssohn: Sinfonia No. 2 in D Major Wolf: Italian Serenade and Mörike-lieder with strings Krista River, mezzo-soprano Harbison: Crossroads – the East Coast premiere of the chamber orchestration Peggy Pearson, oboe and Kendra Colton, soprano Stravinsky: Concerto in D for strings Emmanuel Music’s 2014-2015 season includes Bach’s St. John Passion, BWV 245 on March 21, 2015 and Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio on May 9, 2015. The season also includes the 44th season of the Bach Cantata Series and the free Thursday Lindsey Chapel Series that will explore the complete Bach violin partitas BWV 1001 – 1006. The Bach Institute’s master classes, lectures, and performances will all open to the public from January 9–26, 2015. Tickets for the 2014–15 season are on sale now at emmanuelmusic.org or by calling (617) 536-3356. In just four short years at the helm of Emmanuel Music, Artistic Director Ryan Turner has taken the professional orchestra and chorus (both featuring some of the country’s most in-demand soloists) to new heights. From the standing-room-only performances of their Boston premiere of The Great Gatsby at Jordan Hall and the Tanglewood Music Festival in Lenox, Massachusetts, to the critically acclaimed performances of Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music, Emmanuel Music under the direction of Mr. Turner continues to traverse new ground while firmly keeping Bach as their core companion, proving themselves, once again, to be one of Boston’s most cherished and enduring ensembles.
