Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment & Julia Bullock, soprano

The Golden Age of the Baroque

 

The UK’s preeminent Baroque ensemble, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, makes its first 92NY appearance joined by vocal star Julia Bullock, the artist the Los Angeles Times has called “an essential soprano for our times,” in her own 92NY debut.

 

The Grammy Award-winning Bullock continues to astound the music world with her lustrous voice, probing intellect, and remarkable versatility, dazzling in her Metropolitan Opera debut this season in John Adams’ El Niño. Collaborating with the esteemed period-instrument ensemble, they perform the greatest hits of the Baroque era – arias by Handel, Purcell, Rameau, and Lully, including the glorious “Let the Bright Seraphim,” alongside instrumental masterworks by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, and Pachelbel. A dream concert for Baroque music lovers from artists who make this music new.
