We have invited Teatro Lirico di Cagliari (Italy) who is graciously donating their time and talents to this effort by performing for free to help us in our efforts. \n⇒ Click here to Donate now to reserve your seats\nSeats are also available for a nominal donation. 100% of all donations for seat reservations go towards the Friends of the Erben Organ\, Inc. and the pipe organ’s restoration. * There are a limited number of free seats available through the day of the event.  Please contact us at music@erbenorgan.org to check availability.  \n⇒ For premium reservations including a post-show reception with the artists\, please contact us at music@erbenorgan.org \n\n“Sisters of Charity” by Pietro Gagliardi\, 1873. Oil on canvas.\nCourtesy of the Sisters of Charity of New York \nThe painting shows Sisters of Charity at their work\, caring for orphaned children in New York. \nThe program is a re-creation of the 1826 Benefit Concert for the Orphanage at 32 Prince Street\, founded by the Sisters of Charity. Through research by Basilica Music Director Jared Lamenzo and Italian musicologist Francesco Zimei\, the concert re-creates as closely as possible what was heard in 1826. The concert is essentially an oratorio of sacred music by well-known composers such as Handel and Haydn\, as well as largely unknown works by Zingarelli and Cimarosa. \nThe 1826 benefit concert featured the Garcia Company\, the first Italian opera company ever to perform in America. The Garcia Company included the famed Maria (Garcia) Malibran\, the trailblazer for all subsequent prime donne. \nThis concert is being produced with the cooperation of the famed Teatro Lirico di Cagliari\, the opera house of Cagliari (Sardinia\, Italy). The concert will be preceded by a recital of period organ music performed by Jared Lamenzo. \nFEATURING:\nOrchestra e Coro del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari\nConductor Donato Renzetti\nSoprano Francesca Dotto\, Soprano Salome Jicia\, Tenor Leonardo Cortellazzi\, Baritone Pierluigi Dilengite\, Baritone Daniele Terenzi\nChorus Master Donato Sivo \n⇒ Click here to Donate now to reserve your seats\n⇒ For premium reservations including a post-show reception with the artists\, please contact us at music@erbenorgan.org \nConcert Duration:\nThe concert will last for just over 1 hour\, with no intermission. \nADA information:\nThe Basilica has ADA and companion seating available.

By coincidence\, Mozart’s librettist Lorenzo da Ponte was already living in America\, and eagerly greeted the Garcias. \n \nThe Basilica\nBuilt in the early 19th century\, the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral is over 200 years old and designated a New York City and National Historic Landmark.

SUMMARY:The Dessoff Choirs - Bach\, Bernstein\, Lang
DESCRIPTION:Bach\, Bernstein\, Lang \nThe Dessoff Choirs presents David Lang’s the little match girl passion\, a work that evokes passion through stasis\, repetition\, and the unexpected combination of percussion instruments with voices. The composer describes his inspiration for setting the text: \nWhat drew me to The Little Match Girl is that the strength of the story lies not in its plot but in the fact that the horror and the beauty are constantly suffused with their opposites. Andersen tells this story as a kind of parable\, drawing a religious and moral equivalency between the suffering of the poor girl and the suffering of Jesus. \nIn addition\, Dessoff performs J.S. Bach’s Komm Jesu\, komm\, the fourth installment (over three seasons) of Bach’s six motets and as part of our Bernstein tribute\, “II. Adonai\, roi\, lo ehsar” from Chichester Psalms.

SUMMARY:Artek - Rosenmüller Christmas Vespers
DESCRIPTION:Rosenmüller Christmas Vespers \nARTEK has been performing the music of 17th-century German composer Johann Rosenmueller since 2011\, when the ensemble’s brilliant recording of his cantatas was released. ARTEK performed his Vespers for the first time in 2012 to enormous acclaim.
