San Francisco Renaissance Voices, Katherine McKee, Music Director
“Devoted Daughters and Weird Sisters: Carissimi’s Jepthe and music inspired by Shakespeare’s heroines. San Francisco Renaissance Voices with San Francisco Renaissance Dancers (Jennifer Meller, director) and guest artists MUSA Baroque Instrumental Ensemble (Derek Tam, director) perform the first concert in San Francisco Renaissance Voices 2016–17 season, “The Renaissance Woman.” Giacomo Carissimi’s baroque oratorio Jepthe might more appropriately be titled “Jepthe’s Daughter.” Carissmi’s ravishing score beautifully illuminates the story of the obedient daughter who makes the ultimate sacrifice for her father. This concert features San Francisco Renaissance Voices music director Katherine McKee, sopranos Lisa May and Yuhi Aizawa Combatti, mezzo soprano Naomi Braun, contralto Elisabeth Eliassen, tenor Corey Head and bass Joey Valkevich. The second half of the program features music inspired by heroines from Shakespeare’s plays including solo and one-on-a-part ensemble pieces from Hamlet, Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Tempest, as well as Richard Leveridge’s rarely performed music for Macbeth.
