Coming Up:
The Destined Isle
For our final concert of the season, La Caccina celebrates the rich musical heritage of Ireland in The Destined Isle, a program of Irish folk music arranged specifically for treble voices. This concert features some of our favorite songs from past seasons like Michael McGlynn’s Siúil a Rúin and David Mooney’s Téir abhaile 'riú, as well as well-known songs like The Last Rose of Summer and Danny Boy in new arrangements. Join us for a pint and a bite to celebrate the conclusion of a great season of music-making!
Tickets for The Destined Isle will be available in April.
We are here. We are her.

“La Caccina’s artistry embodies the voice of feminine wisdom, the perfect intersection of musical passion and social purpose.”
-Doreen Rao, conductor
Herstory
La Caccina was founded in 2011 by three friends who loved singing together. Since then, the ensemble has changed a lot, but we still love singing together. La Caccina finds its namesake in Francesca Caccini, a prolific Baroque composer known for her virtuosic musicality, expert compositions, and beautiful singing voice. Following in Caccini’s footsteps, the women of La Caccina bring a wide range of expertise to the ensemble, enabling them to easily adapt to diverse musical styles. La Caccina has collaborated with many ensembles, from bluegrass trios to symphony orchestras, and has commissioned and premiered works by Katherine Pukinskis, Augusta Read Thomas, Matthew Harris, Marie-Claire Saindon, and Melissa Dunphy, among others. No matter the music, La Caccina’s expressive, emotional singing highlights the versatility of the treble voice and brings musical excellence, integrity, and honesty to every performance.
