As we approach the end of our 10th anniversary season, we ask that you help us continue to build momentum!
Celebrating our most challenging and most fruitful in our ten-year history.
As we wrap up 2024, we look back on a year when we:
- Commissioned eleven female and non-binary composers to set female troubador texts to new music that we premiered to a sold-out audience at National Sawdust in Brooklyn.
- Released our two long-awaited albums, a fine companion, and Love to My Liking on the Bright Shiny Things label (with album release concerts in NYC).
- Debuted a live mixed-media concert of music from the Peabody-award-winning video game Pentiment.
- Started a digital concert series on Youtube releasing medieval music selections each week.
- Performed at the Berkeley Early Music Festival both in collaboration with Chanticleer and in our concert of music from Love to My Liking.
- Presented an educational program in collaboration with The Met Cloisters.
We are busy planning our next season and have new and exciting programs and concerts to share with you including:
- 4 live programs in NYC (Verdant Medicine, a fine companion, Wondrous Beasts, and Sir Orfeo — a new setting of the Medieval English story of Orfeo, curated by Alkemie member Ben Matus)
- The release and screening of our video concert of A Worthy Mirror: Songs of the Trobairitz — the premiere of 11 newly-commissioned settings of female troubador texts by female and non-binary composers.
- A continuation of our series of free weekly YouTube song videos.
