2025-2026 Season: Dangerous Women
Don’t need permission, made a decision to test their limits…
Join La Caccina for our most daring season yet as we honor the Dangerous Women throughout history: those who weren’t afraid to speak up, live boldly, and step into their power. This three-concert season (plus exclusive access to our Composer’s Forum) is not to be missed!
Weird Sisters
In October, join us for Weird Sisters and hear stories of witches, magic, and powerful women. Throughout history, women who possessed deep knowledge in subjects like botany, physiology, and medicine were condemned as witches. This concert sets the record straight, celebrating the power of those knowledgable women and harnessing the magic that lives within us all. Emmy C-G, a witch and trauma-informed tarot and akashic records guide, joins us to provide historical context and guide us through the program. Subscribers get exclusive access to a pre-concert workshop with Emmy, and can add a one-on-one tarot reading before or after the show.

Hildegard Redux
In February and March, La Caccina celebrates the legacy of Hildegard von Bingen in Hildegard Redux. von Bingen was one of the most important and prolific composers of the medieval period, and her poetic and compositional voice lives on to this day, inspiring musicians, playwrights, and poets, as well as millions of music-lovers around the world. In this concert, we will perform the virtuosic works of von Bingen herself, as well as those of contemporary composers who have been influenced by her distinctive voice and surprisingly-modern sensibilities.

Tapestry
In 2017, La Caccina covered Joni Mitchell's Blue in its entirety, paying homage to one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 20th and 21st centuries. For our final concert of the season, we'll cover another iconic album by a genius singer-songwriter: Carole King's Tapestry. This concert will feature new arrangements of King's iconic songs by members of the ensemble, as well as an opening act by the Fierezza a cappella ensemble of Spirito Singers.
