BCO goes for Baroque in this energetic program featuring masterpieces from the celebrated era of classical music that have delighted audiences for more than 300 years! The concert begins with J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 before soprano Margaret Carpenter and countertenor Logan Tanner each make their BCO debuts to perform a vocal series including Handel’s radiant Let the Bright Seraphim, the fiery “Ah! Stigie Larve” from Orlando, and Purcell’s beloved Dido’s Lament before the orchestra's strings get a chance to showcase their talents in Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s Battalia à 10. After intermission, J.S. Bach's jubilant Cantata 51, Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen shows the composer’s unmatched inventiveness before the two singers return to the stage for a special finale performance of Purcell's Sound the Trumpet.
