SUMMARY:Visions for a Kinder World
DESCRIPTION:Visions for a Kinder World \nHow should we live our lives\, in a world where bad things happen to good people? What kinds of love and grace do we owe to ourselves and each other? How can we create lasting change\, peace\, and justice\, for all people? Cappella Clausura’s mission has always been rooted in justice\, in correcting an inequality by performing music by women. This program is our creed more broadly\, and includes music that promotes peace over war\, healing over hurt\, and people over policy. In short\, we present music about the better angels of our nature\, and how we can manifest a kinder world together. \nMusic by Mattia Maurée\, Dorothy Hindman\, Linda Chase\, and others. Proceeds from this concert will be split with The Second Step of Newton\, which provides support and advocacy for victims of domestic violence. Learn more at thesecondstep.org.

SUMMARY:Songs that Enchant
DESCRIPTION:Songs that Enchant\nJoin us for a concert-length ritual in music: Cappella Clausura’s first concert of the season presents music that transports the listener to a world that blurs the line between dreams and reality. In this magic world\, mermaids lure innocent people to their deaths\, people are haunted by the ghosts of their dead lovers\, the wind carries countless messages\, and the most interesting things happen at night. Let us be your guide through this dream-world\, as you fall under this spell and emerge transformed by the end. World class pianist Lois Shapiro returns to join us in this magical program\, reprising excerpts of Das Jahr\, performing lieder with soloists from the choir\, and more. \nFeaturing music by Clara Faisst\, Alma Mahler\, Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel\, Clara Schumann\, and Julia Schwartz.\nBUY TICKETS: https://cappellaclausura.thundertix.com/

SUMMARY:Mass in D by Ethel Smyth
DESCRIPTION:Mass in D by Dame Ethel Smyth (1858-1944) \nSuffragette\, composer\, and famed memoirist\, Smyth’s outsized personality made her friends amongst the upper classes who introduced her to Queen Victoria for whom she played her Mass on the piano\, singing all the parts (now that’s chutzpah). The Queen ordered a full performance in the new Victoria and Albert Royal Hall. This massive work has languished unpublished: LeClair made a new edition and SHIFT Orchestra Project joins us for this premiere.

SUMMARY:Das Jahr (The Year)
DESCRIPTION:With a successful opener to our musical season completed\, Cappella Clausura is excited to get ready for our next concert featuring pianist Lois Shapiro! Das Jahr (The Year) by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel\, is a romantic solo piano piece that captures the essence of each month in the calendar year. We’ve broken it up with vocal quartets by Mendelssohn Hensel and Clara Schumann. This performance by Cappella Clausura is a testament to the brilliant works that came from women in the Romantic Era and an amazing composition in the larger form by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel. Join us on November 18th at 8pm at the First Unitarian Society in Newton and November 19th at 3pm at Emmanuel Church of Boston.

SUMMARY:Exultet Terra
DESCRIPTION:CAPPELLA CLAUSURA\, a Newton-based professional vocal ensemble\, is proud to present Exultet Terra\, the first program of our 2023-2024 season. Exultet Terra is for double reeds: 2 oboes\, English horn\, 2 bassoons and double chorus of 16 singers. It centers on three poems by Welsh-born poet George Herbert (1593-1633): Paradise\, Colos\, and Heaven. The composer\, Hilary Tann\, has interspersed within the poetry language from the Psalms in both the Latin Vulgate and the King James bible. \nWith Exultet Terra translating to “rejoice in the earth”\, this piece is a reflection of the amazing landscapes and natural world that Tann witnessed throughout her life. With her unique ability of synesthesia\, Tann was able to use her combined senses to mimic the immersive atmosphere she experienced. Today\, Cappella Clausura is so excited to kick off the beginning of the 2023-24 season by providing one of a kind programming that both honors the roots of the organization\, as well as a dear friend.
