Show Description
Presented by Ars Lyrica Houston
A Hobby Center Arts Partner Performance
Georg Philipp Telemann, Concerto for Flute, Violin, and Cello TWV 53:A2
David Ashley White, The Peace of Wild Things
Vittorio Rieti, Pastorale e fughetta
Joseph Haydn, Arianna a Naxos (orchestral version) Hob. XXIVa:Anh.
Love Untamed explores deeply felt emotions with a Haydn solo cantata and a song cycle by Houston’s own David Ashley White. Haydn’s Arianna a Naxos treats the legend of Ariadne, whose abandonment by Theseus elicits a torrent of feelings, from despair to wrath. In contrast, White’s contemporary song cycle, set to poetry of Wendell Berry, finds balm for the troubled soul in the natural world. Surrounding these stormy narratives are spirited instrumental works in a more peaceful mode, by G. P. Telemann and Vittorio Rieti.

Erin Wagner, mezzo-soprano
Colin St-Martin, traverso
Elizabeth Blumenstock, violin
