Rossi and Company
Following the wonderful response to Clarion's all-Rossi program offered the last two seasons, the Five Boroughs Music Festival and Clarion have now devised a sequel, exploring different but newly captivating motets and madrigals of Rossi together with works of two of his magnificent Italian contemporaries, Monteverdi and Gesualdo. The program displays the ways in which these three indisputable maestri influenced each other’s creativity. In keeping with Five Boroughs’ commitment to bringing the best music to all the boroughs of New York, this concert will take place in the intimate chapel of Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Tickets available after Aug 15th at Five Boroughs Music Festival | |||

Russian Christmas
In the Western world, the 30th of December is the middle day of Christmastide, while on that day the Russian Orthodox Church is just approaching the height of Advent. As part of Trinity Wall Street's Twelfth Night Festival, Clarion explores centuries of Russian settings of mystical and celebratory Christmas texts, from the earliest Kievan and Byzantine plain chant through early-Renaissance Kievan polyphony, works for the court of Catherine the Great, and thence to Slavonic motets by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, and Pärt. Co-presented by Trinity Wall Street, this a cappella concert takes place in the beautiful and historic Trinity Church, with Steven Fox returning to conduct there for the first time since serving as Acting Director of Music in the 2009-10 season. Tickets available through GEMS |

Bolivian Baroque in Concert Clarion is pleased to showcase Baroque works of Bolivia, a repertoire that only now is beginning to be heard in the United States. In as early as the 15th century, Spain began sending priests to the New World to establish churches, missions, and schools. Included in their curriculum was music of a great sophistication, reflecting the best of the European traditions, and, as a result, Latin America responded with a marvelous generation of composers who engaged the lavish Baroque tradition with fresh ears and new perspectives. The Bolivian Jesuits were extraordinary in the way they fostered musical education, performance, and composition in the mid-18th century. This concert presents instrumental and choral works from one of America's great Baroque musical centers with musicians from the Clarion Orchestra and the Americas Society choir, Meridionalis. Tickets and information regarding this concert available through the Americas Society: 212.628.3200 |
