Most people wouldn’t equate “historically-informed Baroque chamber music” with “soul-blasting, face-melting hot sauce fire”... at least not until they hear Augusta McKay Lodge. She and her ensemble Voyage Sonique, plus singer Molly Netted, will perform a program of Baroque chamber works and arias, centering around musical monuments and remembrances by Rebel, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Dowland, and more.
Program:
Jean-Fery Rebel: Tombeau de Lully
George Frederic Handel: Waft her angels through the skies, Jephtha
Arcangelo Corelli: Trio Sonata in D Major op. 3 no. 2
John Dowland: Now, o now, I needs most part
Antonio Vivaldi: La Folia
Henry Purcell: Evening Hymn
