March, 2022: Lorelei's Return to Live Performance

Lorelei Ensemble returns to the stage with:

THIS TYRANT, LOVE

March, 2022

Traverse through ancient and modern tales of love, lust, and longing, spanning centuries. Featuring virtuosic 17th century madrigals originating with the storied concerto delle donne of the Ferrara court, alongside striking modern works by Pulitzer-Prizing winning composer Caroline Shaw, Icelandic performance-artist Björk, and British songwriter Laura Mvula. Closing the program are selections from David Lang’s love fail, a meditation on the timelessness of love that weaves together details from medieval retellings of the story of Tristan and Isolde with stories from more modern sources, including words of Lydia Davis, Marie de France, Gottfried von Strassburg, Béroul, Thomas of Britain and Richard Wagner.
