The Dawn of Time  Chamber Music Concert

Relic Ensemble

Friday, Jan. 24 at 7:30 pm 

Takoma Park Community Center

7500 Maple Avenue 

Baroque chamber orchestra Relic explores the beginning of time in five evocative chapters in a free concert at the Takoma Park Community Center.

The chapters include the emergence of the elements, separation of earth and the heavens, formation of storms and seas, creation of birds and beasts, and finally the birth of humankind. Inspired by ancient creation stories from across the world, this dramatic program features music by Rebel, Rameau, Biber, Vivaldi, and other composers.

No tickets or reservations are required for this free Takoma Park Arts event, and seating is first come first served. Formed in 2022 by alumni of the famed Juilliard School, Relic is a touring chamber ensemble featuring talented musicians who have performed with esteemed orchestras across the world.

Lauded as “stylish and innovative” by the New York Classical Review, Relic connects with audiences through intimate and imaginative programming, which uses narrative “chapters” to unite a variety of repertoire. You can learn more about them at relicensemble.org.

Relic has performed in 12 states at various venues, including the Indianapolis Early Music Festival, Electric Earth Concerts, and the Gotham Early Music Scene. Committed to sharing their passion for chamber music with students of all ages, Relic members also have led workshops, master classes and residencies at schools and universities

This concert is part of the Takoma Park Arts series organized by the City of Takoma Park’s Arts and Humanities Division, including free concerts, theater, dance, film screenings, art exhibitions, and other events at the Takoma Park Community Center. Some limited parking is available at the Takoma Park police station, Piney Branch Elementary School, and neighboring streets.
