Come see us play this Friday! @salmagundiclub
⁠
After a rousing success in February, Twelfth Night Ensemble (@twelfthnightensemble) returns to Salmagundi Club this summer! In their new program entitled “Snapshots”, Twelfth Night brings the audience on a journey through space and time, stopping to capture vivid moments along the way. We invite you to travel back four centuries with us; bask in the sounds of French Impressionism and fiery Romanticism; take a walk through the streets of 18th century Madrid; and finally, dance the night away with a rousing fandango!⁠

For more info about the ensemble and to RSVP, visit the link in bio!⁠ taken in New York, New York by @vadagirl54

📣 Next Thursday, April 20th @ 8pm I’ll be performing my last ever (hopefully) degree recital! @juilliardschool

A Time to Heal is a program near and dear to my heart, honoring my dad and the journey of grief, healing, rediscovery, and resiliency I’ve experienced over the past few years.

Livestream link: https://www.juilliard.edu/event/158536/carmen-lavada-johnson-pajaro-baroque-violin

Beyond grateful to be collaborating with some beautiful humans, each of whom have been a unique piece of the puzzle in putting myself back together. Can’t wait to share this project with y’all ☺️ #kintsugi

Performing works by Marini, Purcell, Monteverdi, Bach, Merula, Couperin and more!

“This life. It’s extraordinary. But for us to learn that and carry the knowledge with us for so long, someone we loved had to die.

Sometimes this feels like a burden, sometimes it feels like an awesome responsibility. Much of the time now, it feels like a gift. Granted, no one ever said the road from there to here would be easy. No one ever told us it would be so rich or rewarding, either.”
~ Hope Edelman, The AfterGrief
