“A Red, Red Rose: Celebrating Robert Burns”: Les Délices (Academy of Early Music)
This adventurous Cleveland-based early-music ensemble celebrates Scottish bard Robert Burns with a new program featuring tenor James Reese, a noted interpreter of Baroque music, performing eighteenth-century ballads composed and collected by Burns, including such beloved tunes as “A Red, Red Rose” and “Comin’ Thro’ the Rye.” Les Délices (The Delights) has been dubbed “an early music group with an avant-garde appetite” by the New York Times. Founded in 2009 by baroque oboist Debra Nagy, the ensemble includes baroque violinist Shelby Yamin, baroque cellist Rebecca Landell, and lutist Adam Cockerham. Preceded at 6:45 p.m. by a talk. 7:30 p.m., St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 306 N.
