Concert

Montclair Early Music (MEM), a nonprofit organization that brings history to life with music, invites you to attend its spring concert featuring live music inspired by fairies, elves, hobbits, and mermaids from the fantasy worlds of Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings—plus Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque songs.

The concert takes place on Sunday, May 5, 2024, from 2:00-3:30 pm, at the First Congregational Church at 40 South Fullerton Avenue in Montclair, NJ.

Music lovers of all ages will enjoy this lively concert of music from various fantasy worlds and historical eras, featuring the Montclair Early Music vocal and instrumental ensembles. Special guests include acclaimed violinist and orchestra director Dr. Elena Peres, the West Orange High School String Ensemble, pianist and composer Heather Bennett, and soprano soloist Louisa Valentín--Montclair Early Music’s newly appointed artistic director.

“For the first time, we are combining popular fantasy music from TV, movies, and video games with music from the real historical eras that inspired their creation,” said Valentín. “Whether early music fans, Dungeons & Dragons players, or lovers of The Lord of the Rings movies, audiences will be delighted by this family-friendly concert.”

Tickets can be purchased online at montclairearlymusic.org/events/myth-magic.

Montclair Early Music’s “Myth & Magic” is made possible, in part, by funds from the Essex
County Division of Cultural Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
