About this Event
Featuring music from five Orphean operas that span two centuries and five nationalities, this program represents an archetypal and deeply human passage into the heart of darkness and ultimately, back to the light. Selections from Monteverdi, Telemann, Charpentier, and others.
Lauded as “stylish and innovative” (New York Classical Review), Relic is a period instrument chamber orchestra that connects with audiences through intimate, imaginative and dramatic representations of early music, with the goal of reaching communities in all 50 states. Relic’s innovative programming, which uses narrative “chapters” to unite a variety of repertoire into a breathtaking concert experience, has captured the hearts of new and seasoned concertgoers alike.
Founded in 2022, Relic's commitment to taking early music on the road brings it to dozens of communities each season. Through its own initiative, Relic has self-produced concerts in Washington D.C., Kalamazoo, MI, Greenbelt, MD, New Canaan, CT, New York City, and Richmond, VA, among others. Relic’s recent presenters include Indianapolis Early Music Festival, Electric Earth Concerts, MusiCivic, Kalamazoo College, and Gotham Early Music Scene. Relic’s current season includes performances in Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, and New York.
Committed to sharing their passion for early music with students of all ages, Relic members have given workshops, masterclasses and side-by-side performances at numerous schools. Most recently, Relic engaged in residencies at University of Maryland, Washington International School, and Kalamazoo College. Relic actively seeks community engagement opportunities, offering children’s concerts, performances in nontraditional venues, and open rehearsals in many of the regions it visits.
