Letter from Acting Artistic Director, John Harbison
In these tight times, we at Emmanuel Music are loosening up. We have always been a flexible ensemble – in 2008-2009, around our core of Bach cantatas, we ranged from Josquin (1521) to Primosch (2008). But in 2009-2010, with Bach still our weekly meeting place, and early and new music still stretching us out, we become even more limber by embarking with our friend Russell Sherman on an exploration of two Fathers of Invention, Haydn and Schoenberg. In chamber and orchestra programs designed to challenge, surprise, and delight, we will guide you through some of music’s most colorful terrain. Join us, we promise an exciting ride.Sincerely,
John Harbison
Acting Artistic Director
