Lux Aeterna

Houston Bronze Ensemble

Lux Aeterna

A Handbell Concert featuring a violin soloist

Free Video-on-Demand

The ting of a bell in silence is a bit like the spark of a flame in darkness. It is on this timeless metaphor that Houston Bronze Ensemble builds its spring program, “Lux Aeterna” or “Light Eternal.” Light is the force by which life is sustained. Light guides our way. Poets and prophets use light to describe dimensions beyond our time and place. Please join Houston Bronze Ensemble and guest violinist, Zachary Montasser, for a sacred hour of meditation, inspiration, and preparation for the sweet days of Spring.Read more

Deep Rooted: Celebrating Ten Years of Music-Making in Houston

Featuring premieres by composer Mason Bynes, Evan Ziporyn, and Giancarlo Latta

Kinetic Ensemble closes out its milestone 10th season with a program tracing and celebrating its Houston roots. The evening features no less than three premieres: a new work by composer Mason Bynes (who hails from Sugar Land, and is now based in New York) that expands upon her school-age hobby of composing musical telegrams for friends and classmates; the Texas premiere of In Light of Sound by genre-defying artist Evan Ziporyn, written for Kinetic’s residency at MIT earlier this Spring; and a short fanfare by founding member, violinist-composer Giancarlo Latta. The program concludes with Benjamin Britten’s Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, which is a nod to Kinetic’s first performance in 2015 that featured this work. Celebrate 10 years of collaborative music-making and “thoughtful, incisive programming” (Arts and Culture Texas) with Kinetic!Read more
