A concert inspired the historic gardens of Europe
Lumedia Musicworks presents its latest concert titled A Little Night Garden Music in Dallas at St. John’s Episcopal Church on April 21 and at On the Levee event venue on April 22.
The program promises an enchanting exploration of musical biodiversity, presenting works by Bach, Handel, Pachelbel, Purcell, Vivaldi, Uccellini, Clérambault, Roman and film score composer Gabriel Yared.
Known for their “innovative approach” to classical music (Friends of WRR Classical Radio), the concert is reminiscent of the musical events held in the formal gardens throughout Europe in the 18th century. The group performs just in time for Earth Day.
Some perennial favorites include Pachelbel’s Canon and Gigue, Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, and Vivaldi’s Concerto for Two Violins in A minor. “This is not your garden variety baroque concert, nor your typical baroque group,” says Christopher Phillpott, founding member and viola da gambist/baroque cellist based in Dallas. “To be sure, audiences have proclaimed Lumedia to be ‘wacky and wonderful!’”
The “essential concert” can be heard at Concerts at St. John’s series on April 21 at 3:00 pm, St. John’s Episcopal Church in Dallas. Tickets are $10 and only available at the door.
The “enhanced concert” is April 22 at 7:30 pm at On The Levee venue in Dallas, Texas. Garden walls of ivy, surround seating, lighting and other special effects combine to create the enhanced experience. Tickets are $36 and include a wine reception with the artists. Purchase tickets online or at the door.
Concert run-time is approximately 60 minutes.
