Music to Lighten the Darkness

As the winter deepens and the days become shorter, we take this time to reflect on light and darkness - physical and emotional - and the challenges that we all face during this cold and lonely time. Cappella Clausura offers a performance on these subjects as a spiritual balm, and a call to celebrate love, life, and connection. Please join us for this journey, as we bring you through darkness to light. 

Music by Anna Clyne, Alma Mahler and others. Including a performance of Francis Poulenc’s epic and rarely-heard “Soir de Neige”.

All About Love

“Sappho begins with a sweet apple and ends in infinite hunger.” (From "Eros the Bittersweet", by Anne Carson) 

Too often throughout history, we've seen women's love and desire depicted through a male gaze, while authentic expressions of love and desire by women in art have been considered taboo. Cappella Clausura challenges this by centering the voices of women and gender non-binary composers in this program on the topic of love in all its forms. 

 

Featuring music by Evelin Seppar, Modesta Bor, Rafaella Aleotti, Hildegard von Bingen, and others.

Visions for a Kinder World

How 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.


Music by Mattia Maurée, Ursula Kwong-Brown, Linda Chase, and others. The proceeds from this program will be split with a local Boston charity.
