Basso Celestia: Ah, Ça Ira!

Basso Celestia: Ah, Ça Ira!

Leah appears as a soloist and ensemble member for “Ah, Ça Ira!”

Our program “Ah, Ça Ira” (“It’ll be alright!”) is structured around the pursuit of liberty in a period marked by resistance, rebellion, and revolution. Three revolutions were key to shaping the late eighteenth century: the Jacobite rising (1745-1746), the American Revolution (1775-1783), and the French Revolution (1789-1799). Featuring music from France, Scotland, and early America, this program is a testament to the many roles that music played in this period of change, from direct calls to action, to folk music preserving a sense of home, to telling tales carried back across the sea. 

Presented in Wilmington’s Old Town Hall by Market Street Music

Virginia Baroque Academy

Virginia Baroque Academy

Leah participates in the 2023 Virginia Baroque Academy at the Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival. In addition to the normal schedule of the masterclasses and ensembles in the workshop, Leah is featured in the role of Gloria in a special project – a performance of Handel’s “little-known jewel,” the Cantata O Come Chiare e Belle. A work of Handel as a young composer of 23 years of age, the piece was performed in 1708 and depicts Rome’s return to glory during the War of Spanish Succession. Closely connected with Handel’s Roman patron, the Marchese Ruspoli, it is full of spirited invention and colorful depictions and imagery of the Tiber River.

Performance on Saturday, June 17, 2023 (11:00am), at Martin Chapel, Eastern Mennonite University
