Lecture and Recital Featuring Scott Metcalfe, Sophie Michaux, and Emiliano Ricciardi : College of Humanities & Fine Arts : UMass Amherst

A collage of three professional headshots. On the left, a man with gray hair, glasses, and a black blazer smiles warmly with crossed arms. In the center, a woman with curly silver hair and a yellow sweater looks upward with a thoughtful expression. On the right, a man with a beard, glasses, and a tweed blazer looks directly at the camera with a calm, steady gaze. Each represents a distinct, professional style.

Scott Metcalfe and Sophie Michaux, are both among the most distinguished performers of early music in the country. The subject of the lecture/recital will be Ferrarese music written for Laura Peperara (1563-1600), arguably the most influential soprano of the late 16th century.

The lecture/recital will draw on a concert program that their ensemble, Blue Heron, will perform in February in Northampton, Cambridge, and New York. The program has been curated in collaboration with Emiliano Ricciardi, associate professor of music history at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
