SUMMARY:Bach’s Lunch: La Femme Vaillante: Reviving the Musical Legacy of Augusta Holmès\, Part 1  (Lecture and Performance)
DESCRIPTION:Join contralto Melissa Elsman (our newest voice faculty) and pianist Kathryn Southworth for Part One of this lecture–recital exploring the early life and music of nineteenth-century Parisian composer Augusta Holmès. Celebrated in her lifetime yet seldom remembered today\, Holmès defied societal expectations by composing on a grand scale—an endeavor deemed “masculine” and inappropriate for women of her era. \nRenowned not only for her music but also for her poetry\, voice\, and striking presence\, Holmès captivated many of the leading artists of her day. Camille Saint- Saëns is quoted as saying “We were all in love with her— literary men\, savants\, painters\, musi­cians; any one of us would have been proud to make her his wife.” \nThis program highlights her early years\, a period marked by passion\, romance\, and artistic inspiration. A selection of musical works and poetry written by Augusta Holmès that reflect this season of her life will be performed\, including her ardent song set Les Sérénades and her fiery song cycle Les Heures. \nBios: \nMelissa Elsman (voice)\, classical singer and music educator\, holds a B.M. in Vocal Performance from The Boston Conservatory and an M.M. in Vocal Performance from Chicago College of Performing Arts. She continues her studies with renowned countertenor Mark Crayton. A member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing\, Melissa teaches voice to children and adults from beginner to advanced levels\, in a variety of styles including classical\, musical theater\, and popular music. An active performer with over 20 years of experience\, Melissa’s repertoire spans from art song to opera\, with a special interest in lesser-known works. She has produced and performed lecture-recitals\, including La Femme Vaillante: Reviving the Remarkable Musical Legacy of Augusta Holmès\, which she has toured both locally and in Chicago. \nKathryn Southworth (piano department co-chair\, piano\, performance workshops\, Canterbury Singers) holds a B.M. in Piano Performance from Oberlin Conservatory and an M.M. in Vocal Accompanying and Coaching from the University of Illinois. She held a graduate assistantship as staff accompanist under the tutelage of acclaimed accompanist John Wustman and served as a musical ambassador to Costa Rica with soprano Ollie Watts Davis. She has been a collaborative pianist for Opera North\, Dartmouth College\, Plymouth State University\, and Boston Ballet\, and has also served as music director\, accompanist\, and organist for many theater and choral groups in New England. Kathy is currently music director and organist for the Canterbury United Community Church. Former faculty positions include St. Paul’s School and Plymouth State University. \nBach’s Lunches are free and open to the public. They are made possible in part through the generosity of the Walker Fund.

SUMMARY:Bach’s Lunch: La Femme Vaillante: Reviving the Musical Legacy of Augusta Holmès\, Part 2  (Lecture and Performance)
DESCRIPTION:Join contralto Melissa Elsman (our newest voice faculty) and pianist Kathryn Southworth for Part Two of this lecture–recital exploring the life and music of nineteenth-century Parisian composer Augusta Holmès. Denied access to the Paris Conservatory like her male peers\, Holmès persuaded César Franck to take her on as a private student. “She arouses in me the most unspiritual desires\,” her composition instructor is famously quoted as saying. Yet Holmès’s brilliance extended far beyond her presence: during her studies with Franck\, she began composing large-scale works—an endeavor considered forbidden for women of her time. \nThe program examines the height of her fame\, including the commission of her monumental Ode Triumphale to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution\, which premiered in 1889 at the Palais de l’Industrie with 1\,200 musicians. This is followed by the profound hardships she faced\, both professionally and personally\, which left her financially strained. Despite these challenges\, Holmès remained resilient\, turning toward spirituality and maintaining hope and optimism. Selected songs from her Twenty Melodies will be performed to reflect the struggles she endured\, alongside selections from her Divine Tales\, which showcase her enduring strength and devotion to the divine. \nBios: \nMelissa Elsman (voice)\, classical singer and music educator\, holds a B.M. in Vocal Performance from The Boston Conservatory and an M.M. in Vocal Performance from Chicago College of Performing Arts. She continues her studies with renowned countertenor Mark Crayton. A member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing\, Melissa teaches voice to children and adults from beginner to advanced levels\, in a variety of styles including classical\, musical theater\, and popular music.

SUMMARY:Bach’s Lunch: The Composer's Process
DESCRIPTION:Composer Stephen James will speak about his creative process when composing\, how he researched the poems of Mary Oliver\, what inspired him\, and how he chose which poems to include in his song cycle for soprano and piano.   He will share insights into the texts and how they influenced his writing as he composed the songs. \nMary Oliver (1935 – 2019) was an American poet who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and the National Book Award in 1992. She found inspiration for her work in nature and had a lifelong habit of solitary walks in the wild. Her poetry is characterized by wonderment at the natural environment\, vivid imagery\, and unadorned language. In 2007\, she was declared the best-selling poet in the United States. \nBio: \nStephen James completed his doctoral degree in composition at Boston University\, where he received the graduate composition prize in 1984\, the Malloy Miller Composition Award in 1986\, and an award for continuing musical excellence in 1987.  He is a pianist as well as a composer and has performed for the Tanglewood Music Center Chamber Series\, the WICN Radio concert series at Mechanics Hall (Worcester\, MA)\, the American Repertory Theater\, Alea III\, the Omnibus Series at Boston University\, the The Essex Chamber Music Players\, and on many other concert series in New England. \nDr. James was a 1985 Crofts Fellow in Composition at the Tanglewood Music Center and a member of the Center for Compositional Study at the Aspen Music Festival in 1986.  Performances of his works include premieres by the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston and the Atlantic Brass Quintet\, commissions from the Washington Music Ensemble and the Newburyport Choral Society\, and performances by the Society for New Music (Syracuse\, NY) and the Fellows of the Music Center at Tanglewood.  He has taught piano performance\, music theory and  composition at Boston University\, Worcester State University\, the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth\, Anna Maria College and Bridgewater State University. \nBach’s Lunches are free and open to the public. They are made possible in part through the generosity of the Walker Fund. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Bach's Lunch: Good People All: A Celtic Christmas (Liz & Dan Faiella)
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \n  \nAs Christmastide draws near\, enjoy music for the season with a Celtic spin\, performed by Liz Faiella\, fiddle and vocals and Dan Faiella\, guitar. Liz & Dan will draw on repertoire from their new Christmas album\, Good People All\, to bring you everything from a fiddler’s take on medieval chant\, to fingerstyle guitar arrangements of carols\, to favorite Christmas folk songs. CDs and digital downloads of the album will be available for purchase at the concert\, as well as winter landscape paintings by Dan Faiella for the art lover on your gift list! \nLiz Faiella’s study of Celtic fiddling\, training in classical violin\, and love of social dancing have shaped her musical approach. Alongside her brother\, guitarist Dan Faiella\, she has taken the stage at premier folk venues throughout New England\, including Club Passim\, the Acadia Trad Festival\, Maine Celtic Celebration\, Little Sea Folk Festival\, and the Boston Celtic Music Festival. An experienced teacher\, she has shared her craft with students at camps\, festivals\, and community music schools.

Trained as an accompanist through years of playing for New England contradances and for Irish fiddlers\, he has performed at venues and festivals around the country with numerous traditional music groups. In his solo playing\, Dan’s fingerstyle arrangements of traditional songs and tunes draw extensively on techniques and ornamentation from traditional idioms beyond those directly related to the guitar\, such as Celtic harp-playing\, sean-nós singing\, and uilleann piping. Over many years of playing solo and collaboratively\, he has developed an ability to adapt and synthesize these sounds into the context of the unique arrangement capabilities of the guitar. \nBach’s Lunches are free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:  \n \nErin Dubois (flute) will offer a lively and approachable look at the woodwind trio—one of chamber music’s most under-the-radar ensembles—sharing the history\, stories\, insights\, and ideas that bring the music to life. The lecture will set the stage for next week’s program\, weaving together works by Muczynski\, Bozza\, Milhaud\, and contemporary composer Christian Ellenwood. \nBach’s Lunches are free and open to the public.
