Vino & Vibes: An evening of Vivaldi, Vitali, and Valpolicella

Jennifer Greene — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 12:34:05 Z

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. Its 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, Lumedias 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!

Purchase tickets online or at the door.

Concert run-time is approximately 60 minutes.

Welcome to the West Live

Jennifer Greene — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 19:00:00 Z

Lumedia Musicworks presents
"Welcome to the West Live" on Feb 7

The Dallas-based early music ensemble performs the mulit-media
concert Welcome to the West Live Friday, February 7 at 8pm. Music includes sonatas,
concertos, traditional fiddling, folk tunes and 1940s western swing, and features contemporary
and historic film footage and photographs from the Library of Congress.

The original production collaborated with videographers and cowboy poets from Texas,
Wyoming, Nevada, South Dakota and Utah. The multimedia concert tells the story of ranching
life in the American West.

Music in the 17th and 18th centuries has influenced the music we listen to today, even if we dont
realize it, said Julianna Emanski, Lumedias Artistic Director who also holds a doctorate in
music from the University of North Texas. For instance, there are aspects of modern country
fiddling style in Baroque music, inherited from the Celtic tradition.

Welcome to the West was originally filmed in Celina and includes an ensemble of 10
instrumentalists, three vocalists, and four videographers all from Texas. Five poets, including the
late Harry Jackson (1923-1973) of Cody, Wyo., and the late Elizabeth Ebert (1925-2018) of
Lemmon, S.D. contribute the text heard in voiceover. The live version on February 7 will feature
footage from the original film via GracePoint Medias XR video wall.

Some highlights from the program include:
Allegro from Grosso Mogul Concerto in D Major, RV 208 (ca. 1712/13) - Antonio Vivaldi
The Famous Night Herding Song (ca. 1950) by Harry Woo Woo Stevens
Thats What I Like about the West (1947) - Edith Bergdahl & Robert MacGimsey, arranged in 2020 by
Gustavo Mazon Finessi
I. Ohne Satzbeziechnung from Les Rainettes - Georg Philipp Telemann
Whiskey before Breakfast (1957) - Andre DeJarlis, arranged in 2020 by Stephanie Noori
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms (1887) - American Hymn

The performance takes place in Meadows Hall at The Sammons Center for the Arts in Dallas on
Friday, February 7 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! Purchase tickets online or at
the door. Concert run-time is approximately 50 minutes. Live stream tickets are available on the

Lumedia Musicworks presents its latest concert titled Night of Decayed Musicians in Dallas at
The Sammons Center for the Arts on October 4.

The baroque period is filled with direct references to the dead and things that go bump in the
night, explains Music Director Molly Hammond. There is an abundance of fright-inducing
content to choose from, which we then highlight with precise positioning and some edgy
interpretation.
The performance takes place in Meadows Hall at The Sammons Center for the Arts in Dallas on
October 4 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $55 and include complimentary valet parking, libations and
bites with the artists.

A Little Night Garden Music

A concert inspired the historic gardens of Europe

Lumedia Musicworks presents its latest concert titled A Little Night Garden Music in Dallas at St. Johns 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 Pachelbels Canon and Gigue, Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, and Vivaldis 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. Johns series on April 21 at 3:00 pm, St. Johns 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.
