Magdalena: A Season Finale
From Sacred to Secular
Mira Fu-En Huang (voice & percussion) | Cole Manel (plectrum instruments) | Cameron Welke (plucked strings & percussion)
For our season finale, welcome Magdalena, an East Coast-based collective of early, new, and folk music specialists. Through immersive storytelling, genre expansion, and interdisciplinary endeavors, Magdalena strives to make period music accessible and enjoyable to all, regardless of age or background.
Originally an Ancient Greek and Hebrew name meaning “woman of Magdala,” or “woman of the tower,” the name Magdalena has traveled across countries and centuries to the present day, where its diminutive ‘Madeleine’ is most prevalent. It is a name that represents multiple eras and cultures, in sacred and secular contexts alike. As an ensemble, Magdalena strives to embody the nature of its name by celebrating multiple genres of music, while making early music a timeless and valuable experience to as many audiences as possible.
Old traditions, fresh perspectives, timeless sounds. Join us as we celebrate the finale of our third season!
As is our tradition, we will begin with a performance by one of our Young Artists.
After the performance, please join us for a Meet-the-Artist reception with hors d'oeuvres & wine. BYOB is encouraged!💃🏼
Doors open at 7 PM | Concert starts at 7:30 PM
