Black Tulip Ensemble

Music from the Dutch 17th Century

The Black Tulip celebrates 10 years of performing together with ‘The World of Constantijn Huygens,’ focusing on music from the Dutch 17th century.

Black Tulip is a multinational ensemble featuring Josefien Stoppelenburg, soprano (the Netherlands), Mirja Lorenz, recorders (Germany), Phillip W. Serna, violas da gamba (U.S.), and Joel Spears, lutes and theorbo (U.S.).

Interdisciplinary by nature, Black Tulip’s innovative outside-of-the-box programming immerses audiences in vivid and dynamic multimedia experiences. Black Tulip often combines dramatic cantatas and songs for solo voice and obbligato instruments with virtuosic instrumental works for recorders, viols, lutes, and theorbo, also incorporating projected artwork to depict the complex cultural lives of composers and their 17th- and 18th-century audiences.

Free tickets will be given out to those present starting at 2:30 pm.
