Good-Bye, Sailor: An Evening of Fond and Not-So-Fond Farewells, Spoken and Sung

at Hawthorne Barn

Join us for an evening of classical music and readings about nautical wanderlust. The musical performance by L’Académie chamber orchestra will feature dramatic pieces by Henry Purcell, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, Marin Marais, and others. Spoken excerpts, from literary works ranging from Homer to Robert Browning, will be read by National Book Award–winning authors M. T. Anderson and Julia Glass.

L’Académie was founded in 2009 by the celebrated harpsichordist Leslie Kwan (now general director) and choral conductor Michael Barrett. It has since become a critically acclaimed period chamber orchestra that specializes in historically informed performance of French Baroque music. The orchestra’s distinctive approach has been consistently praised for its intelligent, stylish programming and also for its innovative mission of presenting chamber music concerts at health institutions in Greater Boston, primarily Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital.
