The Morgan Library & Museum, which has presented a wide array of programs in the Gilder Lehrman Hall since 2006, will offer semi-staged performances of Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s seldom-performed operas “La Descent d’Orphée aux Enfers†and “La Couronne de Fleurs†in collaboration with the Boston Early Music Festival during the 2013-14 season.
Other early-music events feature Arte dei Suonatori, a baroque orchestra based in Poland, and the vocal ensemble Schola Antiqua of Chicago, both in their New York debuts. Continuing its residency at the Morgan, the St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble will present programs highlighting baroque and 20th-century composers.
The George London Foundation Recital Series, which pairs established singers with rising stars, presents artists including Matthew Polenzani, John Relyea and Christine Brewer.
Other concerts include a 75th-birthday tribute to Charles Wuorinen; a program by the Berlin-based Scharoun Ensemble inspired by the Morgan’s collection of manuscripts and scores; and the JACK Quartet playing works by Helmut Lachenmann.
