Fresh off the release of their first professional recording, Simone Dinnerstein’s chamber ensemble Baroklyn joins Connecticut-based professional choir CONCORA in a program that includes music from the recording as well as the choral cantata Es ist das Heil uns kommen her (BWV9). This work focuses on the Lutheran theme of salvation; “Salvation now has come for all” became a theme amongst authors and composers. Baroklyn is also joined by mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano for the exquisite solo cantata Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust (BWV 170).

Medieval Songs of Rule and mIsrule

City of Fools explores age-old themes of justice and corruption as told through ancient minstrel songs. Satirical works from medieval France, Provence, and Germany provide a sharply-etched and astonishingly contemporary perspective on our own nation’s current travails. Be prepared for a surprise or two along the way! shares Camerata Artistic Director Anne Azéma. The concert will include songs of the great Provençal troubadour and satirist Peire Cardenal, as well as pungent excerpts from Carmina Burana and the Roman de Fauvel.
