Masquerading Melodies

Step into a world of whimsy with Masquerading Melodies! Inspired by commedia dell’arte—Italy’s lively tradition of masked theater—this concert features music full of mischief, romance, and playful deception. From masked balls to mistaken identities, composers have long delighted in the drama and comedy of disguise. Join us for concerts with charming tunes and theatrical flair where nothing is quite as it seems, and every melody wears a mask!
