Friday, Oct. 15, 8:00 pm Beethoven Cherubini Beethoven We open the season with a powerful program from the most “modern” part of our repertoire — music by Beethoven and Luigi Cherubini. Soprano Barbara Quintiliani, whose spectacular performances have wowed Boston opera-goers, sings two thrilling works for dramatic soprano: Beethoven’s Ah! perfido, and arias from Cherubini’s tragic Medea. Beethoven’s exuberant Seventh Symphony provides the grand finale. “A fiery, exciting performance…The Beethoven symphonies were revelatory.” —Boston Globe “Quintiliani's voice exudes warmth, from smoldering chest notes to an extraordinary, white-hot high C, the power and beauty of which will not be found elsewhere.” —Washington Post.
Friday, Dec. 10, 7:30 pm Boston’s Grammy-nominated Amanda Forsythe, soprano “The chorus was a wonder, combining ethereal purity of tone with expressive fervor.” —Chicago Tribune “Forsythe was as mesmerizing as ever. Her singing glittered with open emotion and intelligence.” ―HubReview
Friday, Dec. 31, 8:00 pm GALA NEW YEAR’S EVE & FIRST DAY CONCERTS Corelli, Concerto grosso Boston Baroque celebrates the new year with a festive program featuring our virtuoso orchestra with two of its principal members as soloists: Christina Day Martinson, violin, and Marc Schachman, oboe. “Boston Baroque celebrated the new year with style, panache, and just plain fun.” —Boston Musical Intelligencer
Friday, March 4, 8:00 pm Monteverdi Heinrich Biber Dietrich Buxtehude G.F. Handel This fascinating and varied program features a powerful dramatic work by Monteverdi, beautiful choral psalms by Biber, interspersed with three of his extraordinary Mystery Sonatas for violin, and a buoyant cantata by Buxtehude, a North German composer revered by the young J.S. Bach. The program closes with Handel’s Gloria, a virtuoso showcase for our brilliant soprano Mary Wilson.
Friday, May 6, 8:00 pm RAMEAU Amanda Forsythe, soprano We close with Rameau’s brilliant but rarely heard Opera, Les Indes Galantes. With daring harmonies and remarkable orchestral color, Rameau depicts tales of love from four “exotic” cultures: The Gracious Turk, The Incas of Peru, The Flowers (set in Persia), and The Savages of America. This ambitious production continues Boston Baroque’s exploration of the evocative repertoire of the French Baroque.
