OUR 2024-2025 SEASON

​​Thank you for your support of Amor Artis. As arts groups of all kinds, worldwide, continue to recover from setbacks in recent years, your enthusiastic, rapt attendance at our performances has invigorated and inspired us. You, our dear listeners, rekindle and share in the love of the art that gives our ensemble its name. With you in mind, our artists—more skilled than ever—will create four concert experiences designed to transport you from our busy, beloved city into realms of beauty, peace, awe, and wonder. 

We kick things off in December with our signature holiday program, which will surround you with spirits of joy, contemplation, and hope. To celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, and the hope of annual renewal, the voices of Amor Artis will again pair with the incomparable artistry of Parker Ramsay on the harp, David Weiss on cello, Eddie Barbash on saxophone, and other beloved artists. 

Excitedly taking our decades-old tradition into the second quarter of the 21st century, Amor Artis rings in 2025 with its all-Bach program. Join us to be uplifted by Bach’s exuberant Magnificat, the toe-tapping Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, the ebullient Concerto for Violin in E Major, and more!

In March, Amor Artis teams up with Trinity Wall Street’s ensemble Downtown Voices for an unforgettable collaborative presentation of works for multiple choruses. Prepare to be flooded by sound as these two outstanding ensembles, together, present Frank Martin’s beloved Mass for Double Choir, an early 17th-century work for four choirs, and Thomas Tallis’s one-of-a-kind Spem in Alium, for forty different parts!  

To close our season, we turn to one of the most moving and profound works of this century, David Lang’s Little Matchgirl Passion, which leans on Bach’s passion format to tell Hans Christian Andersen’s heart-wrenching tale. We’ll explore, too, other works musing on parent/child relationships, including Baroque gems by Scarlatti, Carissimi, and Charpentier, and modern-day favorites by Billy Joel, Eric Clapton, and others! 

Join us! We can’t wait to take you away with us into other worlds, united in our shared love of the art—Amor Artis.
