CONCERT POSTPONED
It is with a sincerely heavy heart that we have to announce the postponement of our upcoming April 30th Town Hall Seattle concert featuring Philippe Jaroussky & Artaserse.
Due to complications associated with the securing of the appropriate work visa, the Ensemble must postpone their United States tour. Despite extraordinary efforts, the Ensemble’s application has been continuously delayed, and it has been determined that the proper paperwork will not be secured in time for their journey to the United States.Please be assured that we are working with Mr. Jaroussky’s management to reschedule this performance for a future season. While we are confident we will be successful, at this time we are not able to announce the day, date, time, or location of the rescheduled performance.
La Gelosia
Recognized for the pyrotechnic character of his vocal art, Philippe Jaroussky has also recently joined the field of orchestral conducting. With his own ensemble founded in 2002, he takes on this double role of soloist and conductor and offers a bouquet of 18th century Italian cantatas on the passionate theme of jealousy.
“Gelosia is a fascinating programme felicitously presented by one of today’s finest artists.”
—Early Music Review
This concert is dedicated to the memory of Naomi Shiff
An enthusiastic and skilled early-music amateur, Naomi Shiff’s passion was playing Renaissance music from original notation, and she was a devoted supporter of Early Music Seattle, the Seattle Recorder Society, and EMA, among others. Professionally, she was among the first female computer programmers. A family death notice mentioned that, “in keeping with her love of learning, she had her remarkable brain donated to the University of Washington Brain Study.”
