Welcome to our new season - an amazing line-up planned for your musical enjoyment and enlightenment during the coming year. We completed our fifth new recording in June with Marc Antoine Charpentier’s Historia Esther, which was so moving that we’re ending our New Year’s Eve concert with it. Esther’s call “Jubilate, Fideles” (“Rejoice ye Faithful”) is exhilarating, and Taylor Fenner sang it so beautifully that we were all captivated.

​

She will also be singing the soprano solos in Messiah, along with our old favorites Dann Coakwell, tenor, and David Grogan, bass, and joining them will be another amazing lady – Megan Esther Grey, who headed straight for New York after her college in Northern Iowa and won the Metropolitan Opera auditions directly! She auditioned for us a couple of years ago, and we’re delighted finally to have her for this season’s Meyerson performance.

​

Opening Night this year is October 10, where we will have “Highlights of the High Baroque”, great pieces from Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi and Clerambault, running the gamut from that composer’s Médée cantata to the Double Concerto for Flute, Recorder and Strings by Telemann. New Year’s Eve will also have Bach’s Cantata for the New Year, and we will end our presentations at Our Redeemer with the incomparable Saint Matthew Passion of Bach on April 17.

​

Our Aldredge recitals this year will feature an added matinee performance of Chamber Music at Versailles on Sunday, March 14 in the afternoon, along with our usual evening recitals which will feature David Grogan, Dann Coakwell, and Haolun Zhang, the amazing Countertenor who delighted everyone with the alto solos in Messiah last season.

​

Our recording of the Saint John Passion of Bach is now released, and James’s complete recording of the harpsichord works of Rameau is also out – we are offering your choice of our first four CD’s free with your subscription.
