Ensemble Meliora, a group dedicated to elevating lesser-known voices in early music, presents O Clarissima Mater, a celebration of Women’s History Month on Friday, March 13 at 7 pm at St. John’s in the Village Church, 224 Waverly Place, Manhattan. This concert is an exploration of women’s roles in early music history, from the church, to the salon, to the court. No tickets or reservations are required; suggested donation is $25.
Please join the ensemble for the concert and for a reception afterwards!
Ensemble Meliora is a historical performance ensemble committed to sharing early music with diverse audiences, regardless of prior experience with early music, classical instruments, or live concerts. Based in New York City with musicians hailing from Chicago, NYC, Rochester, Baltimore, and beyond, Ensemble Meliora is passionate about rediscovering forgotten works that deserve to be heard in this century. We are dedicated to introducing the public to these pieces through rigorous scholarship, the creation of new performance editions, and bringing these pieces to life in performance. We believe that the creativity of the past can inspire the imagination of the present.
In addition to our inaugural concert for the 2025 BEMF Fringe Concert series, Ensemble Meliora has presented unique programming in NYC at St. John’s in the Village Church, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, and the Juilliard Station. Most recently, Ensemble Meliora won full funding from the Juilliard Marks Center for our Women’s History Month program, to be performed on March 13th in NYC and March 14th in New Haven.
This concert is sponsored by a grant from the Juilliard Marks Center.
