Eudaimonia

Bringing together some of the Boston area's most creative performers in the historical performance field, Eudaimonia seeks to benefit those in profound need in our immediate environs. As an artistic collective, we build upon shared ideals, ignited spirits, and a desire for healthy collaboration. Each concert presented by this flexible ensemble is p... resented in partnership with, and in support of, an existing Boston-based social service or initiative. The word eudaimonia refers to the richest, most expansive form of happiness, defined in ancient philosophy as a sense of well-being associated with a noble purpose or engagement in meaningful activities. Happiness, even that brought about by music, is more than pleasure: it comes out of living in accordance with one's "daimon" - or true Self (spirit). Our programs inventively evoke the message or cause of the service organization that's being partnered with, subtly weaving in themes of protection, nourishment, independence, freedom from violence, empowerment, and the need for home and haven. Eudaimonia's repertoire spans the mid-16th century through the middle of the 19th century and our programs center around vocal & orchestral works that speak to the mission of partner organization. The works of women composers are seamlessly blended into our programming. Join our Email ListRead More
