Description
The centerpiece of the Fall 2020 Digital Season welcomes back New York Baroque Incorporated (Wen Yang, Artistic Director) to Concerts at Saint Thomas. In this chamber performance, directed by Jeremy Filsell, rising star mezzo-soprano Sarah Rose Taylor joins NYBI in a program comprising the heroic music of G.F. Handel and Henry Purcell. Following the restoration of King Charles II to the English throne in 1660, Handel and Purcell emerged as important figures in English music history. Handel’s great Arias, his Organ Concerto in B flat and Trumpet Suite in D reflect the heritage of Henry Purcell, upon whose music Handel so consistently drew for inspiration. Hear the magic for yourself with friends and family this evening.
