Chamber Music Circle Presents A Dutch Christmas
The Howland Chamber Music Circle presents its annual Christmas concert on December 9, featuring Early Music New York. The group is directed by Frederick Renz, internationally acclaimed for his work as conductor, producer, performer and his extensive research in the field of early music.
Early Music New York was founded in 1974 and performs music drama from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as well as orchestral repertoire of the baroque and classical periods. Profiled on award-winning national news programs ABC News Nightline and CBS News Sunday Morning, EM/NY tours regularly throughout the United States and abroad. It has won critical acclaim, with return engagements, at many international festivals as well as in Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center and the Library of Congress. It is in residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NY, where it presents an annual concert series. Since its inception, Early Music New York has presented numerous concerts of repertoire appropriate to the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The ensemble of nine male voices and four instrumentalists will perform A Dutch Christmas, a collection of songs and hymns from the16th and early 17th centuries that would have been familiar to the early Dutch settlers of the Hudson Valley.
This extraordinary concert will be presented under the auspices of the Howland Chamber Music Circle, but, because a larger hall is needed, as well as for its appropriateness of setting, at St. Mary's in the Highlands Episcopal Church, located on the corner of Main Street and Route 9D in Cold Spring, on Sunday, December 9, at 4pm and will be followed by a reception to meet the artists.
Tickets at $30 ($10 for students) can be reserved by calling 297-9243. Further information on this and other presentations by the Howland Chamber Music Circle is available on its website www.howlandmusic.org
