Keith Womer, director of La Follia, says of the upcoming season:
I am particularly excited about this upcoming La Follia season. It offersmore diversity and more programming innovation than any I can recall.
Imagine:
- In August, enjoying Mozart and Haydn performed on the types of instruments they used
- In October, traveling back to the exotic era of the viol consort and alsohearing Bach's 6th Brandenburg Concerto
- In December, celebrating the 10th anniversary of KMFA’s "Ancient Voices"live with Sara Hessel, featuring sackbuts, cornettos, and fagotto
- In January, enjoying the third installment of "Herd of Harpsichords"including a newly composed work for 4 harpsichords and strings by AsakoHirabayashi
- In February, in time for Valentine's Day, delighting in noble and naughtysongs of love with Ryland Angel and Meredith Ruduski
- In April, closing out with Bach’s rarely performed masterpiece "TheMusical Offering"
And it gets better! Within each concert, we have taken special care topresent you with an inspiring experience that – quite simply – you will notfind elsewhere. Sure, you have heard Mozart and Haydn, but have you heard itperformed on instruments like the ones they actually used? Have you everheard a cornetto or a sackbut? What about multiple harpsichord concertos? Join us this season, and all these treasures will be yours!
Some things won’t change. Our artistic standards will remain high and ourtalent the best.
