In the mood for love this Valentine's Day...
“Nurturing talent is a key feature in all of Ex Cathedra’s work,” says the ensemble’s founder & conductor, Jeffrey Skidmore. “Chansons d’amour platforms our current crop of future stars, who perform a seductive programme of love songs, from Monteverdi to Bach and Mozart, from Marlene Dietrich to the Carpenters, Bacharach and the Beatles.
“As Valentine’s Day approaches, enjoy a little light music in the specially created romantic ambiance of the Jennifer Blackwell Performance Space at Symphony Hall!”
Treat yourself – and perhaps a loved one – and indulge in this sensuous music as we approach Valentine’s Day.
The pieces will be introduced by Jeffrey Skidmore and there will be readings from texts by WH Auden, Maya Angelou, Christina Rossetti, Khalil Gibran and William Shakespeare.
Running time is approx. 2 hours, including interval.
