    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."

    The 2010-2011 season concludes on June 10 with Forbidden Pleasures, featuring the flamboyant repertory of the castrati, including works by Alessandro Scarlatti written during the prohibition of opera in Rome. Internationally-acclaimed British countertenor Ryland Angel makes his Ars Lyrica debut with this program.
