Ensemble for the Romantic Century, now in its ninth season, was founded by pianist Eve Wolf in 2001, with the intention of creating an engaging and innovative approach to chamber music concerts. Co-directed by Eve Wolf and her fellow-pianist Max Barros, ERC's stellar team includes James Melo, musicologist ; Donald T. Sanders, director of theatrical production ; Vanessa James, production designer ; and Beverly Emmons, lighting designer, as well as some of the finest actors and musicians active in New York and elsewhere. ERC's theatrical concerts interweave letters, memoirs, diaries, poems, and other literature with chamber and vocal music ; the music's historical context is reinforced through its connections with history, politics, philosophy, psychology, and the other arts to create a compelling new performance experience.During its first eight seasons ERC has produced over 30 different theatrical concerts, and it continues to add new productions each season. ERC has partnered with such institutions as The Jewish Museum of New York ; the Archivio Fano of Venice, Italy ; the Festival de Musique de Chambre Montreal ; the Massachusetts International Festival of the Arts/MIFA ; the French Institute-Alliance Fran
