Arioso Chamber Ensemble presents a brand-new magical musical experience, “Blessings, Curses and a Charm,” in Richmond and Montpelier this weekend. Alto Linda Radtke, pianist Alison Cerutti and violist Elizabeth Reid have compiled a program celebrating all things mystical and mysterious and sure to conjure the witchy wistfulness of late autumn. The centerpiece of the show is the premiere of “Six Curses and a Charm” by Saxtons River composer Carol Wood, which was inspired by ancient Roman and medieval incantations. The spellbinding singing continues with otherworldly works by Johannes Brahms and Franz Schubert.
