EMMANUEL MUSIC & ARTS SERIES

Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas

April 24 & 25, 2009
Newport Baroque's first operatic production was an unstaged performance of Purcell's beloved English opera with soloists, chorus and orchestra under the direction of Paul Cienniwa. The program also featured a selection of arias by Bach and Purcell.
O'Sullivan Meets O'Farrell
Grammy Award-winning uilleann piper Jerry O’Sullivan with members of the
Newport Baroque Orchestra
February 24, 2009
Master uilleann piper Jerry O’Sullivan joined Newport Baroque Orchestra members Paul and Audrey Cienniwa for a concert of 18th-century Irish music for pipes, cello and harpsichord.

Jerry O'Sullivan has been widely hailed as America's premier uilleann piper. His reputation for technical and melodic mastery of the instrument, an Irish bagpipe known for its subtlety and expression, is unsurpassed in the United States, and is demanding considerable attention overseas.

O’Sullivan has appeared on more than 90 albums and has performed or recorded with artists such as The Boston Pops, Don Henley, Paul Winter, James Galway, Dolly Parton, The Colorado Symphony Orchestra, The Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Eileen Ivers, and many others. Jerry has just recently released a new solo album, O'Sullivan Meets O'Farrell (Jerry O'Sullivan Music, 2005), which features music from the 200 year old O'Farrell tutor and tune collections. 
The Newport Baroque Orchestra presents Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons
June 6 & 7, 2008
Newport Baroque Orchestra joined forces with ““New York's world-class early music violinist” Robert Mealy in a performance of Vivaldi’s celebrated Four Seasons. The program also featured soprano Mary Therese Royal de Martinez performing 17th-century Italian arias. Martinez introduced each of Vivaldi’s seasons with the original sonnets that Vivaldi wrote to accompany each season.

About Robert Mealy...

One of America’s leading baroque violinists, Robert Mealy has been praised for his “imagination, taste, subtlety, and daring” by the Boston Globe; the New Yorker recently called him “New York’s world-class early music violinist.” Having recorded over 50 CDs of early music on most major labels, he has also toured with the Mark Morris Dance Company and accompanied Renée Fleming on the David Letterman Show.

In 2004 Mr. Mealy was appointed concertmaster of the internationally-acclaimed Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra, and led them in their recent recording of Lully’s Thésée, as well as their Grammy-nominated recording of Conradi’s Ariadne, and the modern premiere of Mattheson’s Boris Godenouw. The Boston Phoenix remarked of the Boris production that “the most exceptional music came from the pit. Concertmaster Robert Mealy played more music than anyone onstage or off, every measure of it with erudition and compelling energy.”
The Keep the Music Alive! New Orleans to Rhode Island Jazz Weekend
October, 2007
Our Keep the Music Alive! Jazz Weekend in October, 2007 was a tremendous success including a jazz performance by the Storyville Stompers from New Orleans and a festive Eucharist and parade around the church block. We were able to send $2500 to St. Anna’s Mission to Musicians. The work of St. Anna ’s and the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic continues however. Thanks for your continuing prayers and support.
