Ars Lyrica’s 2009-2010 season offers a fantastic musical excursion: London, Naples, Paris, and Rome await — and you don’t need to get on an airplane or pack a bag! Our musical “Grand Tour” follows a path trod by generations of young people to soak up the culture of distant nations. What they heard is what’s on our menu: some of the most extraordinary music of the Baroque era, produce on period instruments in the superb acoustics of the Hobby Center’s Zilkha Hall.

 

The earthiness of the Baroque oboe and the sweetness of the Baroque violin evoke the soft breezes and fragrant blossoms of a French garden in spring. Transport yourself to Paris with this concert of French Baroque chamber works for voices and instruments. Virtuoso oboist Kathryn Montoya returns to perform with the ensemble, joined by two internationally-renowned stars of the early music scene: violinist Marc Destrube and mezzo-soprano Jennifer Lane.
