A Marian Feast
Alessandro Scarlatti, the Neapolitan master of the opera and oratorio, has long been an Ars Lyrica favorite. This program juxtaposes his “Stabat Mater” (Mary’s lament at the crucifixion) with an oratorio on her immaculate conception (recorded by Ars Lyrica and soon to be released on Naxos!).
Ars Lyrica’s first CD on Naxos
Audiences and critics alike have been enthusiastic about Ars Lyrica programming in general and the Alessandro Scarlatti programs in particular. We are pleased to announce that a recent Ars Lyrica recording of Scarlatti’s music will be available on the NAXOS label later this year. (more…)
Houston Early Music wishes to call your attention to an upcoming musical event in the Houston community:
Ars Lyrica Houston, at the Museum of Fine Arts
You are cordially invited to Ars Lyrica’s free performances at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston this coming Sunday. Matthew Dirst and Zachary Carrettin will be playing some delightful pieces by Bach, Scarlatti, and Vivaldi.

“Clandestine Classics”: little-known masterworks by Bach and Handel, including the latter’s recently rediscovered “Gloria.” Join the musicians for a gala champagne reception and silent auction in the Hobby Center Founders’ Club.
