¡Navidad! The Mystery of Mary
Pacific MusicWorks, 2023
"The remaining acts—Rosa Mistica, Made de Dios, Estrella de Mar, and Reina del Cielo—followed suit, and as the music swelled and increased in strength, so did the relationship between the audience members and the ensemble. By the time intermission rolled around, there was no longer an unspoken barrier between the edges of the front row seats and the stage”

A Concert with The Countess:
Baroque Meets Drag
Pacific MusicWorks, 2023
"If anyone releases standalone video of the final number, D'Urfey's "My thing is my own," it could become a Baroque viral sensation. As the Countess pranced around while making every intention in the lyrics as clear as could be, the audience spontaneously joined in on the refrain, "My thing is my own and I'll keep it so still / Yet other young lasses must do what they will." You had to be there.”

Monteverdi: Love & Revolution
Pacific MusicWorks, 2023
Claudio Monteverdi’s music broke the rules of Renaissance polyphony and created the foundations of modern music. Like Shakespeare, Monteverdi’s genius lay in his ability to communicate the full compass of human emotions, especially the most mysterious, tragic, and magical of them all – love.
Murder & Mayhem
Pacific MusicWorks, 2023
The years leading up to the English Civil War in 1642 were full of riotous discord, reflected in the popular Broadside Ballads. At the same moment, William Lawes, the greatest English musical genius between Dowland and Purcell, was producing vocal and instrumental music of unparalleled beauty. His life was cut short in battle, but his legacy of musical jewels - including the unique Harp Consorts and songs achieved the perfect balance of emotion, words, and music - shed insight into life during this turbulent period of history.
The Resounding Lyre
Pacific MusicWorks, 2023
The chosen instrument of Greek gods and heroes Apollo, Hermes, Eros, and Orpheus, the lyre's significance in Greek culture and its impact on music cannot be overstated. The Resounding Lyre explores works written for the harp, the baroque emanation of the lyre, spanning Italian, German, and Celtic traditions.
Featuring artists Stephen Stubbs, Maxine Eilander, Tekla Cunningham, Henry Lebedinsky, David Morris, and Danielle Reutter-Harrah. With music by Isabella Leonarda, Alessandro Stradella, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, and Georg Frideric Händel.
