From Constantinople to La Serenissima - Music of the Venetian and Ottoman Worlds
​
Join Music City Baroque and guest artists Reza Filsoofi, Joe Zeytoonian, and Myriam Eli for an evocative afternoon with musical highlights from Venice and the Ottoman empire.
This special concert accompanies the current exhibition and explores the rich cultural and commercial exchanges between Venice and the Ottoman Empire from a musical perspective. As goods flowed across the Mediterranean, so too did ideas, sounds, and styles. Discover how this interaction shaped the musical landscapes of both worlds. On the program will be pieces by Cantemir, Ali Ufki, Vivaldi, Uccelini, Monteverdi, and others.

Celebrate Music City Baroque’s 20th anniversary with us and join us for a performance with a variety of soloists performing sparkling music from the high time of the Baroque.
On the program are Antonio Vivaldi’s electrifying Summer from The Four Seasons led by our artistic director and concert master Maria Romero Ramos. Soprano Sangeetha Ekambaram presents the recently discovered and rarely heard Gloria in excelsis Deo by George Frideric Handel for virtuoso soprano, strings, and continuo. Telemann’s expressive Overture-Suite in D major is performed by renown viola da gamba player, Joshua Keller. Telemann’s love for the instrument shines through his musical language which highlights the instrument’s lyrical and virtuosic capabilities. Longtime MCB members Jessica Dunnavant (obligato flute) and Mareike Sattler (alto) celebrate the 20th anniversary with Telemann’s Cantata “Kein Vogel kann im Weiten Fliegen (TWV 1:994).
Join us for a reception after the concert!

Led by renowned violinist and fiddler Brandi Berry Benson the band/ensemble traces the history of the fiddle and the violin through centuries in music and tunes. From the origins of the instrument in the 16th century, fiddle and violin have had an inspired relationship with each other that only later split into defined genres of so-called art music and folk tunes.
​
A special welcome and shout-out to the young musicians in our community! Elements of this program are part of a couple of in-school workshops at MNPS schools, also led by Brandi Berry Benson.

This program traces and reflects upon a variety of experiences of music making in Latin America during the Spanish Colonial period (1500-1800). The music performed will include pieces from the Bolivian Missions (Anonymous), popular (at the time) and imported pieces from Europe (Zipoli, de Murcia), as well as vocal music and villancicos from Latin American composers (Pérez de Bocanegra, Céspedes, Fernandes, Sumaya). Our aim is to show how musicians made a life working in the complex contexts of displacement and confinement within colonial society.
