Description

A new festival featuring music from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Baroque periods is set to premiere its first season at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City this spring. "The First Annual Long Island Early Music Festival" will kick off with a performance by Vox Aquarum, a Long Island-based vocal quartet, joined by lutenist Dr. Christopher Morrongiello, on Sunday, March 26, at 4 PM. The concert, titled "From Depths to Heights", will feature music by Claudio Monteverdi, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Henry Purcell, and Vincenzo Galilei, the father of Galileo.

Other concerts in the Festival include the ALBA Consort's performance at 4 PM on April 30, titled "Melodic Gems of the Ancient & Brave New World," which is a part of the New York Philharmonic's New World Initiative, and the Hofstra Collegium Musicum's program of Shakespearean era songs called "Behind the Arras," which will take place on Friday, May 12, at 7:30 PM. The Festival will close with Morrongiello & Young's concert "Sweet Harmony of Words & Music," featuring lute songs of love and courtship from the Elizabethan period. This performance will take place on Sunday, May 21, at 4 PM and will coincide with the New York Conservancy's Sacred Sites Open House, with free guided tours of the stunning Gothic style Cathedral available before the concert. 

Tickets will be available at the door, and range from $10–$20, with students and children admitted free. For more information, visit www.incarnationgc.org/earlymusicfestival or contact the Cathedral’s office at 516-746-2955 or cathedral@incarnationgc.org.
