Gems of the French Baroque — With Modern Dance Friday, March 6, 8:00 pm Saturday, March 7, 8:00 pm NEC’s Jordan Hall Introductory talk at 7:00 pm Order Tickets Now Lully, Suite for Orchestra The French Baroque repertoire is rich, fascinating, colorful—and too little heard in this country. This program offers a cross-section. Martin Pearlman has assembled the opening Suite for Orchestra from various dances taken from Lully's operas. Charpentier’s mass is extraordinarily beautiful and deeply introspective. Rameau’s opera-ballet explores the myth of Pygmalion, the sculptor who falls hopelessly in love with the statue he has carved of a beautiful woman. Vocal soloists include: Robert Getchell, tenor, as Pygmalion; Meredith Hall, soprano; and Kristen Watson, soprano. Pygmalion features dancer/choreographer Marjorie Folkman, former principal with the Mark Morris Dance Group. |

Mozart’s concert aria features BB bassist Deborah Dunham, performing in the specialized “Viennese tuning” of the time. Joseph Haydn’s Symphony 102 is one of the most brilliant of the twelve London symphonies that capped his symphonic career. Hyunah Yu, soprano |
