Philharmonia’s 2018/19 season promises an eclectic array of sound experiences, with sacred vocal works by Bach, Mozart and Pärt, virtuosic concerti by Vivaldi and Geminiani, and Handel at his dramatic heights. Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw completes her PBO-commissioned song cycle for a world-premiere at Lincoln Center and guest artists mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, violinist Rachel Barton Pine, and conductor Patrick Dupré Quigley, all experts in Baroque, Classical and early-Romantic music and versatile champions of boundary-pushing, team up with PBO as we transport audiences to a musical terrain at once familiar and fresh, spare and sumptuous.
