Written By Beth Beauchamp

As we approach the end of our 10th anniversary season, we ask that you help us continue to build momentum!

Celebrating our most challenging and most fruitful in our ten-year history.

As we wrap up 2024, we look back on a year when we:

- Commissioned eleven female and non-binary composers to set female troubador texts to new music that we premiered to a sold-out audience at National Sawdust in Brooklyn.

- Released our two long-awaited albums, a fine companion, and Love to My Liking on the Bright Shiny Things label (with album release concerts in NYC).

- Debuted a live mixed-media concert of music from the Peabody-award-winning video game Pentiment.

- Started a digital concert series on Youtube releasing medieval music selections each week.

- Performed at the Berkeley Early Music Festival both in collaboration with Chanticleer and in our concert of music from Love to My Liking.

- Presented an educational program in collaboration with The Met Cloisters.

We are busy planning our next season and have new and exciting programs and concerts to share with you including:


- 4 live programs in NYC (Verdant Medicine, a fine companion, Wondrous Beasts, and Sir Orfeo — a new setting of the Medieval English story of Orfeo, curated by Alkemie member Ben Matus)

- The release and screening of our video concert of A Worthy Mirror: Songs of the Trobairitz — the premiere of 11 newly-commissioned settings of female troubador texts by female and non-binary composers.

- A continuation of our series of free weekly YouTube song videos. 

Alkemie is a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and we are grateful for your support of our innovative programming. Donations of any size make a meaningful impact and help us continue creating. Please contact Sian Ricketts (sian@alkemie.org) to discuss how you can be further involved.
