The glory of early fall (the specter of the coming cold)
The security of a sheltering tree (the uncertainty of when its leaves will fall)
The solace of nature’s beauty (the unsettling shadow of an approaching storm)

Eudaimonia captures the season’s poetry through song and sinfonia from the 17th & 18th centuries, blended with bold musical elements of the present day. The lustrous voices of soprano Pamela Murray and mezzo soprano Carrie Cheron are joined by some of Boston’s best period instrumentalists on a program to include: 

Vivaldi’s “Autumn” Concerto
with guest violin soloist Julie Leven
arranged by Julia McKenzie for Eudaimonia

The world premiere of John Howell Morrison’s “September” 
(poetry by Jennifer Michael Hecht)
with soprano Pamela Murray
mezzo soprano Carrie Cheron

a movement from Telemann's Overture Burlesque

Founded and directed by early keyboardist Vivian Montgomery and violinist Julia McKenzie, Eudaimonia brings together some of the Boston area’s most creative performers in the historical performance field. As an artistic collective, we build upon shared ideals, ignited spirits, and a desire for healthy collaboration. 

Eudaimonia’s repertoire spans the mid-16th century through the middle of the 19th century and our programs center around vocal & orchestral works that speak to the mission of our partner organizations. The works of women composers are seamlessly blended into our programming.
