As part of the 2022 North Carolina HIP Festival, the Vivaldi Project presents a program that includes the modern premiere of a trio by Maddalena Sirmen (from Duke’s Rubenstein rare book and manuscript Library) as well as works by Simon Leduc l’aîné, Haydn, Boccherini, and Beethoven.

Black Fiddlers of Monticello tells the story of the three fiddle-playing sons of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson, as well as their fiddling cousins, the Scotts. Both families played for important events at Monticello and lived in downtown Charlottesville for a time. This multimedia program will teach participants about these fiddlers’ important musical contributions, and you will hear what the music sounded like through a performance demonstration by David McCormick – violinist, scholar, and 2020 Fellow of the International Center for Jefferson Studies.
Baroque violinist David McCormick is artistic director of Early Music Access Project, founding member of Brooklyn-based medieval ensemble Alkemie, and the executive director of Early Music America.
This performance is in Goodson Chapel, which is in the Divinity School of Duke University. You may park in the Bryan Center parking deck, walk towards Duke Chapel and the Divinity School is the building immediately next to Duke Chapel on its right side (if you are facing the chapel). Walk along the Chapel’s right side, and enter the Divinity School at the back-most entrance, go down the stairs and Goodson chapel is on your left.

2023 NC HIP MUSIC FESTIVAL CONCERT: Inspired by Bach: The Six Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin
2023-02-24 19:30 - 21:30 | Moeser Auditorium, 145 E. Cameron Ave, Chapel Hill, NC, NC, 27599, United States
We don’t know exactly when or exactly why Bach wrote his Sei Solo for “violin without bass” (probably around 300 years ago), and after their mid-19th century rise to prominence they have remained a staple in violin learning and literature ever since. Much has been made of the grammatical curiosity on their title page (Sei Solo reading variously as “you are alone” or “he is alone”), since Bach was famously meticulous and could easily have written Sei Soli (six solos).

During the height of the pandemic, violinist Nicholas DiEugenio explored these works in conjunction with interviews of his musician-friends doing social justice work, in an effort to feel less alone himself. Since then, Nicholas has created works of visual art inspired by each of these incredible, monumental pieces, which will be projected as the music sounds.

PARTNER EVENT: A Stranger in a Strange Land with the North Carolina Baroque Orchestra
2023-04-22 15:00 - 17:00 | First Presbyterian Church Durham, 305 E Main St., Durham, NC, 27701, United States
Mallarmé Music presents our friends, the North Carolina Baroque Orchestra (NCBO) as they explore an intriguing program of music by composers born in one country who traveled to other countries to compose and play music. You’ll hear the influences of their birthplaces, along with new influences from their adventures to other lands. Georg Frideric Handel was born in Germany, studied and made his first mark in Italy and spent his career in England. Willem de Fesch of the Netherlands joined Handel’s orchestra in London. Jean-Baptiste Lully, a consummate Frenchman, was born Giovanni Battista Lulli in Italy. Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges traveled from his birthplace, the French colony of Guadeloupe, to France. Born to a French planter and an enslaved African woman, Chevalier de Saint-Georges gained his education and his musical training in France, becoming a virtuoso violinist, composer and conductor. Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, though living her life in France, could be called a stranger in a strange land – making her way in musical society as one of the very few professional female composers must have been just as challenging as for a foreign composer making their way in a new country.
The North Carolina Baroque Orchestra is a period instrument ensemble co-founded in 2011 by sisters Frances Blaker (artist director) and Barbara Blaker Krumdieck (executive director and cellist).
During the orchestra’s 10 years, they have been happy to bring performances to many venues in North Carolina as well as South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee, often working with local choirs.

PARTNER EVENT: Music of Light with the Concert Singers of Cary
2023-04-29 19:30 - 21:30 | Westood Baptist Church, Cary NC, 200 Westhigh St, Cary, NC, 27511, United States
This concert given by the Concert Singers of Cary with Mallarme Music as the orchestra, conducted by Dr. Nathan Leaf, features two pieces: a beloved and oft-performed modern choral work, and a work first premiered in 1928 and rarely performed since then.
The popular requiem Lux Aeterna (Eternal Light) was composed by Morten Lauridsen in 1997, the year his mother died. She was the “muse” who introduced him to music and taught him to play the piano. Lux Aeterna is a serene and intimate choral work centered on the themes of hope, reassurance, and consolation of grief.
Amy Beach’s Canticle of the Sun is a rare find. She was the first highly successful American female composer of large-scale classical music during the turn of the 20th century and is well-known to professional musicians (though hardly known by today’s general public.) Her Canticle of the Sun, for choir and orchestra, offers a musical setting for text by St. Francis of Assisi, giving honor and blessings to “my Lord God with all His creatures.”

J.S. Bach’s church cantatas are often considered the pinnacle of German sacred music, works whose theological depth and emotional resonance touch deep places in the human soul. The Chapel’s Bach Cantata Series presents these musical masterpieces accompanied by other notable choral and instrumental works of the Baroque era. For this final concert in the series, we are delighted to welcome back Molly Quinn, presenting some of Bach’s loveliest cantatas for solo soprano and orchestra.

Bach’s B Minor Mass a work intended to summarize and showcase all the compositional technique and expressivity that this great composer had amassed during his life.

Being in love with laser his whole life, Jason Salt has been providing immersive abstract laser art to the entertainment scene since 2007. His first show was at the IEEE annual banquet and featured a self-built single color laser projector and used function generators out of the college lab to perform live abstracts to music. Intrigued with how laser projectors work, Jason started building his own systems in his garage. In 2013 Jason build his first full color RGB system. This was also the first system that interfaced with control software providing recording capabilities. Using Mathematics and Science, Jason was able to transform a laser into an artistic display of abstract colors and patterns and sync it to music. Learning about various hardware and software platforms Jason decided to build a custom live performance console. The console features old school analog controls, as well as new school digital controls. What really sets his console apart are the two laser projector preview windows. With the power of the live console and the recognition of the community Jason formed Salty Robot Productions in 2018. Salty Robot Productions has been working out of the Charlotte NC area and has been able to provide laser FX for the Carolina Panthers and All Elite Wrestling. Live laser shows have been included with Western Piedmont Symphony in Newton NC, Yuri’s Night at Kennedy Space Center, and at Bach Akademie Charlotte. Salty Robot Productions partnered with local cellist Kelvin Chang to form Chromatic Strings in 2022, blending classical cello music with abstract laser entertainment.

CONCERT: The Golem silent film with live score in Lancaster, SC

Silent Film with original music for baroque string quintet, written by Mark Bergman
Download The Golem press release

ARTISTS
David Wilson, Matvey Lapin – violin/ Suzanne Rousso – viola/ Barbara Krumdieck – cello/
Mark Bergman – bass/ Jennifer Streeter – harpsichord

Widely recognized as the source of the Frankenstein myth, the ancient Hebrew legend of the Golem provides substance for one of the most adventurous films of the German silent cinema. Suffering under the tyrannical rule of Rudolf II in 16th-century Prague, a Talmudic rabbi creates a giant warrior to protect the safety of his people. Sculpted of clay and animated by the mysterious secrets of the Kabbalah, the Golem is a seemingly indestructible juggernaut, performing acts of great heroism, yet equally capable of dreadful violence.
When the rabbi’s assistant takes control of the Golem and attempts to use him for selfish gain, the lumbering monster runs rampant, abducting the rabbi’s daughter and setting fire to the ghetto. With its remarkable creation sequence (a dazzling blend of religion, sorcery, and special effects) and the grand-scale destruction of its climax, “The Golem” was one of the greatest achievements of the silent era and remains an undeniable landmark in the evolution of the horror film.

Single tickets are $15 through the Lancaster Cultural Arts Center http://www.lcshp.org/cultural-arts-center-concerts-events

Suffering under the tyrannical rule of Rudolf II in 16th-century Prague, a Talmudic rabbi creates a giant warrior to protect the safety of his people. Sculpted of clay and animated by the mysterious secrets of the Kabbalah, the Golem is a seemingly indestructible juggernaut, performing acts of great heroism, yet equally capable of dreadful violence.
When the rabbi’s assistant takes control of the Golem and attempts to use him for selfish gain, the lumbering monster runs rampant, abducting the rabbi’s daughter and setting fire to the ghetto. With its remarkable creation sequence (a dazzling blend of religion, sorcery, and special effects) and the grand-scale destruction of its climax, “The Golem” was one of the greatest achievements of the silent era and remains an undeniable landmark in the evolution of the horror film.
