Kathleen Fay words (BEMF Executive Director):
"Dear Friends,
This evening we are delighted to welcome the outstanding singers and instrumentalists of Ensemble Correspondances, under the direction of Sébastien Daucé, for their second performance on the annual BEMF concert series, following their critically acclaimed North American début at the June 2017 Festival. Since their founding in 2009, this much-lauded ensemble has built a formidable reputation around the world for their masterful and moving interpretations of seventeenth-century French music. For this evening’s program, “Perpetual Night: 17th-century Ayres and Songs,” filmed and recorded for BEMF, they collaborate with the glorious French mezzo-soprano Lucile Richardot, who will star in the title role of the 2023 Boston Early Music Festival’s centerpiece opera, Desmarest’s Circé. Their program is a fascinating exploration of the evolution of English song during the tempestuous seventeenth century, with French influences before the English Civil War and temporary overthrow of the monarchy and again in Restoration England following the return of Charles II from exile in France.
With tonight’s concert, our 2020–2021 virtual concert season is brought to a satisfying and uplifting close. We are excited to announce that the all-virtual 2021 Boston Early Music Festival—Music of Solace & Joy—will take place in six weeks, running June 6 to 13, 2021. We look forward to the opportunity to invite music lovers and viewers from around the globe to enjoy an extensive lineup of exclusive performances and free events, including a wide array of concert offerings, opera, masterclasses, and the World-Famous Exhibition—all from the comfort of home. For more information, please visit BEMF.org.
Thank you for “attending” tonight’s performance by Ensemble Correspondances, and most especially for your continued support of and enthusiasm for the Boston Early Music Festival".
