About The Event

Lauded as “stylish and innovative” (New York Classical Review), Relic is a period-instrument chamber orchestra that connects with audiences through intimate, imaginative, and dramatic representations of early music, with the goal of reaching communities in all 50 states. Relic’s innovative programming, which uses narrative “chapters” to unite a variety of repertoires into a breathtaking concert experience, has captured the hearts of new and seasoned concertgoers alike.

Founded in 2022, Relic’s commitment to taking early music on the road brings it to dozens of communities each season. Through its own initiative, Relic has self-produced concerts in Washington, DC; Kalamazoo, Michigan; Greenbelt, Maryland; New Canaan; Connecticut; New York City; and Richmond, Virginia, among others. Relic’s recent presenters include the Indianapolis Early Music Festival, Electric Earth Concerts, Musicivic, Kalamazoo College, and Gotham Early Music Scene. Relic’s current season includes performances in Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Virginia, and Washington, DC. 

For tonight’s concert, Relic performs its program Into the Underworld.

More information about Relic can be found on the ensemble’s website.

Into the Underworld Program Description

Relic journeys into the underworld, where darkness dwells and mysterious creatures lurk. Featuring music from Orphean operas and other works that span two centuries and five nationalities, this program depicts an archetypal and deeply human passage into the heart of darkness and, ultimately, back to the light with pieces by Monteverdi, Telemann, Campra, and others.
