'Hymns of Angels: A French Noël' online through Jan. 2
Houston's Molly Hammond among the performers
As a holiday gift to the community, Lumedia Musicworks offers its “Hymns of Angels: A French Noël” online through Jan. 2. It features artistic director and soprano Julianna Emanski of Frisco and soprano Jendi Tarde of Carrollton.
The first in a five-part series of virtual Spotlights by Dallas-based nonprofit Lumedia, the concert also features instrumentalists Christopher Phillpott of Dallas and Molly Hammond of Houston as they perform inside Event1013 in downtown Plano.
General admission tickets are $12 for the event. Student tickets are offered at no charge.
Nonprofit Lumedia is committed to showcasing and performing early music – before 1750. Lumedia’s core team, which is highly trained in historically informed performance practices, performs on reproductions of instruments from the baroque, renaissance and medieval periods at historical pitch.
“A new concept for Lumedia, our Spotlights series features individual artists in striking locations across our state,” said Emanski, who has a doctorate in music entrepreneurship from UNT. “Using state-of-the-art technology, we’re able to create a variety of virtual concert hall destinations with multiple cameras and high-quality audio.”
