Modern Love - a musical celebration of love in all its forms

This Valentine’s Day, join us for a celebration of love in all its forms. From romantic love to familial love to friendship to self-love – or even if your attitude is “down with love!” – La Caccina has you covered. Featuring Matthew Harris’s hilarious and poignant Women in Love, Megan Fletcher’s sassy arrangement of Chappell Roan’s “My Kink is Karma”, and a world premiere about the power of friendship from Venezuelan composer Mariana Romero Serra, this light-hearted program will have audiences feeling butterflies. Concert ticket includes refreshments and admission to the Dawes House Museum and exhibitions. La Caccina champions and performs diverse, innovative repertoire for women’s voices to engage audiences and inspire the next generation of collaborative musicians. The ensemble finds its namesake in Francesca Caccini, a prolific Baroque composer known for her virtuosic musicality and beautiful singing voice. Following in Caccini’s footsteps, the singers of La Caccina bring a wide range of expertise to the ensemble, enabling them to adapt to a variety of musical styles—from Renaissance madrigals to South African folk songs, and from contemporary pop songs to classical masterworks such as Vivaldi’s Gloria in D and Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols. Since their founding, La Caccina has collaborated with ensembles including the Pavo String Quartet, the DuPage Symphony Orchestra, and bluegrass trio Glass Mountain, and has commissioned and premiered works by Marie-Claire Saindon, Timothy C. Takach, Augusta Read Thomas, Matthew Harris, and Melissa Dunphy, among others.
