In This Newsletter
Welcome
to the 2011-2012 season presented by Houston Early Music. We have an exciting series of five concerts, from women composers at the German courts, to the harpsichord’s golden century, to Spanish songs of war and love, to Scottish fiddling, and of course our Christmas treat of carols and foot-tapping ballads. We offer a season subscription to all five concerts and a mini-pass subscription to three concerts of your choice. Join us this season as we “reimagine the past”.

Laury Gutiérrez, La Donna Musicale Director
The Boston ensemble is back with music by women composers at the rival German courts of Frederic the Great and the House of Hapsburg. Foes on the battlefield, the zeal for victory extended to the salon, where passions ran high and nothing was spared in their lavish quest of the arts. Music by Frederic’s sister, Wilhelmine, and Anna Bon goes up against Hapsburg-sponsored Camilla de Rossi and Maria Teresa Agnesi. Soprano Shari Alise Wilson and countertenor Gerrod Pagenkopf. Violins, viola, violone, harpsichord and viola da gamba.
