The Golden Age of Spain: A Legacy of Spanish Music- April 10, 2013

Seraphic Fire celebrates 500 years of Spain in Florida with music that accompanied Ferdinand & Isabella’s explorers across the ocean. Days before Easter Day, 1513, Ponce de Leon and his crew first set eyes upon the coast of Florida. Although he never found the fabled Fountain of Youth, Ponce de Leon established the New World’s first continental colony at St. Augustine. Seraphic Fire sings the rapturous Misa El Ojo of Aragonese composer Francisco Peñalosa and the genius text settings of Salamanca’s Juan del Encina in a concert illustrating the compositional magic woven by the Spanish masters. 7:30 p.m.

Vivaldi & the Soprano: Vocal Fireworks- March 22, 2013

Featuring Seraphic Fire soprano Kathryn Mueller. During his time as the maestro of music at the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, Antonio Vivaldi wrote many of his most extraordinary works for the young women in residence there. These compositions revolutionized the Baroque cantata, a style that contains some of the most dramatic and virtuosic pieces ever written for the human voice. The musicians of the Firebird Chamber Orchestra are joined by critically-acclaimed soprano Kathryn Mueller for an exciting program celebrating the female voice. 7:30 p.m.

Seraphic Fire: The Psalms of David- November 16, 2012

From the music of Claudio Monteverdi to the double choir motets of Johann Sebastian Bach, the Book of Psalms has been the bedrock upon which the Western music tradition has been built. Virgil Thompson’s setting of Psalm 23, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need, communicates the psalms’ comforting beauty, while Johann Pachelbel’s Jauchzet dem Herrn (Psalm 100) displays the psalmist’s unbridled joy. Seraphic Fire celebrates the many faith traditions who have found exaltation and solace in the poetic words of King David. 7:30 p.m.
