CONCERTS IN THE CATACOMBS

Death of Classical and The Green-Wood Cemetery announce the second season of The Angel’s Share, the acclaimed concert series featuring opera and chamber music in the Cemetery’s Catacombs.

Each evening begins with a reception at sunset featuring a whiskey tasting and views of the Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor. At dusk, guests will then wander along winding paths to Catacombs for the performance.

Epilogues and Epitaphs June 24, 25, & 26, 2019; 7:30 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. Most people wouldn’t equate “historically-informed Baroque chamber music” with “soul-blasting, face-melting hot sauce fire”… at least not until they hear Augusta McKay Lodge. She and her ensemble Voyage Sonique, plus singer Molly Netted, will perform a program of Baroque chamber works and arias, centering around musical monuments and remembrances by Rebel, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Dowland, and more.

Program: Jean-Fery Rebel: Tombeau de Lully
George Frederic Handel: Waft her angels through the skies, Jephtha
Arcangelo Corelli: Trio Sonata in D Major op. 3 no. 2
John Dowland: Now, o now, I needs most part
Antonio Vivaldi: La Folia
Henry Purcell: Evening Hymn

Performers: Augusta McKay Lodge, violin
Jeffrey Girton, violin
Keiran Campbell, cello
Adam Cockerham, theorbo
Robert Warner, harpsichord
Daniel Moody, countertenor
