We’re continuing our celebration of Early Music America’s 2025 Emerging Artists Showcase with a performance by ensemble Ars Poetica. Their showcase program “Amour et Souvenir” is devoted to song cultivated in the Duchy of Burgundy over the course of the fifteenth century. We’ll hear favorites by Dufay, Busnoys, Josquin, and Binchois in lush and intimate combinations of voice, viol, lute, and winds. Then, on our featured release, we’ll trek across eighteenth-century Germany with the Freiburger Barockorchester, whose 2025 album Grand Tour is studded with rarely heard gems by Bach and Telemann contemporaries.
