About This Concert
Two magical garlands paint a story in Rameau’s La Guirlande—a mystical one-act opera telling a story of love through Baroque dances and irresistible arias. This concert includes another magical garland: Handel’s towering Dixit Dominus, which shows off a different side of the High Baroque style through complex counterpoint and startlingly dramatic choruses. We are thrilled to welcome Nicholas McGegan back to the podium to guide us through these baroque triumphs.
