Grammy Nominee
Best Opera 2011
An evening of musical magic, with prize-winning soloists, striking instrumental combinations, even a taste of the supernatural! Familiar works by Bach and Handel are leavened with more exotic fare, including chamber works by Bach’s youngest son and by Frederick the Great’s personal composer.

J. G. Janitsch: Quadro “O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden”
