In the opening concert of its 2024-45 season, Three Notch’d Road: The Virginia Baroque Ensemble explores Requiem-themed early music of Germany, England, and America.

The program abounds in memory and hope and will feature two monumental works by a young J.S. Bach (the chaconne for violin and cantata "Actus Tragicus") and selections by Henry Purcell, Thomas Campion, William Walker, and living composer David Hughes. 

Soprano Sheila Dietrich, tenor Ben Geier, countertenor Daniel Moody, and bass Jared Swope

With period instrumentalists Anne Timberlake (recorders), Fiona Hughes (violin), René Schiffer (cello & viola da gamba), Jane Leggiero (gamba), and Joel VanderZee (organist & baritone)
