    Over the last 12 years, Ars Lyrica Houston has “set the agenda for imaginative period-instrument programming in Houston,” according to the Houston Chronicle, Its annual season includes five subscription programs at the Hobby Center’s acoustically superlative Zilkha Hall as well as repeat programs at area venues and special events.

    The upcoming 2010-2011 season, devoted to the diverse delights of the Baroque Teatro Mundi, features dramatic music for the stage, church, concert hall, and salon.

    "We are more excited than ever about the incredible performances, events and collaborations that we have planned over the next fifteen months," said Artistic Director, Matthew Dirst. "This is an important and exciting period for our organization. The ensemble’s thematic programming and its advocacy of the unfamiliar has given it a distinctive edge, both in Houston and in the international early music community."

    Ars Lyrica’s 2010-11 season begins on September 24 at Zilkha Hall with Domenico Scarlatti’s comic intermezzo La Dirindina, the only extant composition of its kind from the great master of the eighteenth-century keyboard sonata. The revival of such works, a central feature of Ars Lyrica’s mission, helps to preserve the rich heritage of Baroque opera while providing musical entertainment of the highest caliber.

    Mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, a rising young star of the opera world and a recent graduate of the Houston Grand Opera studio, sings the title role. Also featured: baritone Brian Shircliffe, tenor Joseph Gaines, and the Ars Lyrica ensemble in sinfonias by the Scarlatti family.
