ARTEK, led by Cynthia Freivogel

The highlight of the season: ARTEK’s performance of Handel’s Messiah, Part 1 and Bach’s Cantata 191, Gloria in excelsis Deo (Bach’s Christmas reimagining of portions of the Gloria from the B minor Mass). Led by the brilliant violinist Cynthia Freivogel, with singers from ARTEK and the Choir of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, and the ARTEK orchestra. Soloists: sopranos Sarah Chalfy, Christina Kay, and Clara Rottsolk; mezzo-soprano Kim Leeds; countertenor Clifton Massey; tenors Andrew Fuchs and Jacob Perry Jr; and basses Peter Becker and Steven Hrycelak. The Messiah will feature several rarely heard versions of our favorite arias! Don’t miss ARTEK’s take on this familiar masterpiece in a performance informed by the best of historical practices, conducted by Gwendolyn Toth, professor of Historical Performance at The Graduate Center, CUNY as well as the director of both ARTEK and the Saint Ignatius of Antioch choir. Fredric Fehleisen, lecturer, is a noted expert in Handel and the Messiah; he is a professor of music history at Juilliard.

Juilliard 415 & Yale Schola Cantorum

Schola Cantorum and Juilliard415, conducted by Masaaki Suzuki, will perform Handel’s L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato. Composed in 1740, this pastoral ode is based upon the poetry of John Milton. Milton’s two poems, L’Allegro and il Moderato were arranged by James Harris (1709-1780), interweaving them to create dramatic tension between the personified characters.
