Item Description
In February 2013, Princeton will be the site of the American Handel Society’s bi-annual conference. It is no coincidence that the English Concert known for, among other things, its interpretations of Handel will appear on the PUC series anchoring the American Handel Festival which will take place at Princeton during the conference. The English Concert, returning to PUC after many years, is among the finest baroque chamber orchestras in the world, with an unsurpassed reputation for inspiring performances of Baroque and Classical music in the concert hall and on CD. Based in London, the orchestra presents an annual season there, in addition to extensive touring. In 2007 Harry Bicket became the orchestra’s Artistic Director, following in the steps of Andrew Manze and their founder, Trevor Pinnock. The English Concert’s many recordings include several prize-winners, most recently As steals the Morn, a CD of Handel arias with tenor Mark Padmore that received a 2008 BBC Music Magazine Award. The visit to Princeton precedes a concert performance of Handel’s opera Radamisto at Carnegie Hall, part of a larger concert opera project that was started last season and will feature The English Concert over several seasons in Carnegie Hall.
Two tickets, Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 8pm in Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall, general admission seating.
