Saturday, March 1 at 7:30

The Epiphany Choir & Orchestra
Zach Hemenway, conductor

Danielle Ruetter-Harrah, soprano
Jay Carter, countertenor

Featuring G.F. Handel’s Birthday Ode for Queen Anne and Henry Purcell’s Birthday Ode for Queen Mary (Come, ye sons of art), this concert will satisfy whatever wish you have. Splashy and celebratory choruses? Present. Lighthearted Duets? Present. Stunningly beautiful solo lines? Present. So beautiful, in fact, that the first movement of Handel’s ode, Eternal Source of Light Divine, has been sung at numerous royal occasions, including most recently at the wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The evening will be rounded out with Correlli’s much-beloved Concerto Grosso No. 8 in g minor. Danielle Reutter-Harrah, soprano; Jay Carter, countertenor; José Luis Muñoz, countertenor.
