LAB's first concert performance of an opera. Under LAB's artistic directors, violinist Lindsey Strand-Polyak and cellist Alexa Haynes-Pilon, we brought to life John Blow's "Venus and Adonis," an important gem of the 17th-century English vocal repertoire and the first surviving English opera, which served as a model for Purcell's Dido and Aeneas. The cast included Marisa De Silva as Venus and Zachary Haines and Adonis.

It was a very good year: A concert of anniversaries

In this program of mainly 17th-century repertoire we celebrated our composers' 300th-400th birthdays, and one end-of-life anniversary. LAB director Alexa Haynes-Pilon appeared as soloist in a cello concerto by Leonardo Leo, a prominent Neapolitan composer of his day. We also performed works by Biber, Bertali, Rosenmüller and little-known Swedish composer Ferdinand Zellbell.

The LAB Report: murders, mischief and more

We opened our 2018/19 season by presenting a motley crew of composers who got themselves into some pretty sticky situations… and not all of them lived to tell the tale. However, all of them left a legacy of fantastic music. Works by Handel, Leclair, Gesualdo, Clarke, Purcell and Lawes.
