- **Event Description**: An intimate Valentine’s concert honoring friendship, longing, and lyric beauty through the lens of 17th-century literary salons. This unique performance centers on the poetry of Katherine Philips, known as “the Matchless Orinda,” alongside music by Henry Purcell, Henry Lawes, and Mary Dering. Performed with voice and lute, and interwoven with spoken recitations, With Quill and Voice illuminates the world of this early modern poet and her creative communities—where poetry and music blossomed by candlelight.

The evening features soprano Elissa Edwards, hailed for her “pliant, seductive, free-ranging voice” (Gramophone), and Dr. Richard Kolb, an internationally esteemed lutenist and theorbo player known for his performances and editions of 17th-century repertoire.

A pre-concert wine and cheese reception will be offered.
