Moriarty\, M.D. ’57 Visiting Scholars Program\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nAcclaimed Worcester-based soprano Mary Mackenzie and Matthew Jaskot present Wild & Tended\, a program of art song for soprano & piano. \nThe art song is a cultivated form — it emerged in the early 19th century\, as composers began to set poetry to music in a more deliberate and expressive way\, using melody\, harmony\, and rhythm\, to convey the emotional and psychological depth of the text. The 20th century saw significant changes in the genre\, with the influence of atonality\, serialism\, folk music\, and popular music. \nArt song was born as an intimate genre\, written to be performed in people’s homes — music for a room\, for a gathered circle of friends\, for a voice close enough to hear every detail. It continues to be a vibrant and diverse genre\, and this program lives in that tension — between the wild and the tended — tracing the art song from its Romantic roots to music written in our own time. \nProgram to include works by Clara Schumann\, Hugo Wolf\, Arnold Schoenberg\, Francis Poulenc\, John Frantzen and more. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n September 24\, 20267:30 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nBrooks Concert Hall URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/wild-tended-mary-mackenzie-soprano-matthew-jaskot-piano/ LOCATION:Brooks Concert Hall\, 1 College St.\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/mackenzie-jaskot-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260928T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260928T120000 DTSTAMP:20260812T235147 CREATED:20260804T133442Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260804T133554Z UID:6742-1790596800-1790596800@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Traditional Irish Music DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Traditional Irish Music\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nAccordion player Diarmuid Ó Meachair and Galway fiddle player Ellie Egan will play a selection of music from East Galway. \nThe traditional music of East Galway is known for its unhurried pace\, lyrical expression\, and strong rhythm. Unlike the faster\, highly ornamented styles of other regions like Sligo\, the East Galway style focuses closely on the smooth flow of the melody and a soulful\, down-to-earth feel. \nThis concert will feature music from legendary east Galway figures such as Paddy Fahey\, Paddy Kelly\, Conor Tully\, Paddy Carty and Joe Burke. They will be accompanied by Simon Lace (Guitar) and Brooks Scholar John Hannigan ’28 (Accordion & Fiddle). \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n September 28\, 202612 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nBrooks Concert Hall URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/traditional-irish-music/ LOCATION:Brooks Concert Hall\, 1 College St.\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/irish-music-fall-2026-web.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
