OUR 2025-2026 SEASON

​​Thank you joining Amor Artis this season. Regardless of the ways in which public support for the arts shifts, your enthusiastic, rapt attendance at our performances, and your generous support of our art, have invigorated and inspired us. You, our dear listeners, rekindle and share in the love of the art that gives our ensemble its name. With you in mind, our artists—more skilled than ever—will create four concert experiences designed to transport you from our busy, beloved city into realms of beauty, peace, awe, and wonder. 

We kick things off in December with our signature holiday program, which will surround you with spirits of joy, contemplation, and hope. To celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, and the hope of annual renewal, the voices of Amor Artis will again pair with the incomparable artistry of Violetta Norie on the harp, David Heiss on cello, and other beloved artists. 

What better way to welcome 2026 than with the always uplifting music of J. S. Bach? We’re excited to continue this festive tradition with you and share a lovely assortment of holiday cantatas and invigorating instrumental works, with our favorite Baroque specialist instrumental partners. 

In March, Amor Artis returns to the music of Claudio Monteverdi as we dive into his famous Madrigals of Love and War. Joined by Adam Cockerham on both lute and guitar, with violins and continuo, Amor Artis will present 17th-century songs of love and war with Jeffrey Van’s stunning setting of Whitman’s Civil War poetry, A Procession Winding Around Me, along with love songs from the Middle Ages to present day. 

The final concert of our season celebrates the greatest contributions to the choral repertoire for a cappella chorus. Join us to traverse centuries of glorious works that demonstrate the power and beauty of the human voice and experience a splendid cornucopia of vocal works, from beloved Renaissance motets, to movements from Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir and Parry’s matchless Songs of Farewell, to spirituals, vocal jazz, and everything in between!
