Eudaimonia

Eudaimonia, A Purposeful Period Band is a vibrant Boston-based baroque and crossover ensemble that uses musical performance to lift up the humanitarian work of local social action organizations. Founded in 2015 by early keyboardist Vivian Montgomery and violinist Julia McKenzie,  Eudaimonia (whose name speaks to the highest human good and well-being) brings together some of the Boston area’s most creative performers in the historical performance field. As an artistic collective, we build upon shared ideals, ignited spirits, and a desire for healthy collaboration. Eudaimonia’s repertoire spans the early Renaissance through contemporary times and our programs center around vocal, chamber, and orchestral works that speak to the mission of our partner organizations. The works of ​women and other marginalized composers are seamlessly blended into our programming and the recent creation of the ensemble’s uniquely inclusive chamber choir, Eudaimonia Voices, brings a new dimension to the group’s mission and soundscape.  Eudaimonia-music.org
