DALLAS (APR 15) – The Dallas-based early music core ensemble performs “Vino & Vibes - An Evening of Vivaldi, Vitali & Valpolicella” on Friday, April 25 at 8pm. Italian wines from North Italian regions accompany the ravishing songs and madrigals, spirited chaconnes and toccatas of the 17th-18th centuries. 

 “There is a deeply personal, expressive quality to the 17th century Italian style, all rooted in the human voice. It’s freer, somewhat exotic, and represented by a surprising number of composers. Opera arias and madrigals dominated the period, and eventually gave rise to a vast number of instrumental works in the 17th and 18th centuries,” said Molly Hammond, Lumedia’s Music Director. 

These rare and exquisite works require only the core ensemble: soprano and Artistic Director Julianna Emanski, violinist Daniel Lee, cellist Christopher Phillpott, lutenist Hector Torres, and harpsichordist Molly Hammond. Each instrumentalist will take center stage at various points, alternating their collaborative roles. 

A curated selection of wines from neighboring regions will be served to enhance the sensory experience of time and place. 

The concert takes place in Meadows Hall at The Sammons Center for the Arts in Dallas on Friday, April 25 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $55 and include complimentary valet parking, and libations with the artists.

Audiences have proclaimed Lumedia to be ‘wacky and wonderful!’
