Pre-Concert Talk | 3:30pm

 

The series will lead off with George Frideric Handel: A Musical Portrait, a collage of some of the wonderful music from the pen of the Baroque genius, G. F. Handel, including Dixit Dominus, an early masterpiece for choir, soloists and orchestra. A concerto grosso will feature violinists Cynthia Roberts (returning after her virtuosic performance of The Four Seasons last June) and Maria Romeo with cellist Arnie Tanimoto. In addition, the performance will feature our new digital chamber organ, with Marc Bellassai soloing at the keyboard in an organ concerto from Opus 4 originally performed by Handel himself. The concert will be at the beautiful Shrine of Ss. Peter and Paul, on 125 Fayette Street in Cumberland, and will be preceded at 3:30 pm by an informative talk designed to enhance enjoyment of this timeless music.
