BCO goes for Baroque in this energetic program featuring masterpieces from the celebrated era of classical music that have delighted audiences for more than 300 years. The concert begins with J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 before soprano Margaret Carpenter and countertenor Logan Tanner each make their BCO debuts to perform a series of vocal masterworks including Handel’s radiant Let the Bright Seraphim, the stirring “Ah! Stigie Larve” from the opera Orlando, and “Dido’s Lament” from Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas before the orchestra’s strings showcase their talents in Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s Battalia à 10. After intermission, J.S. Bach’s jubilant Cantata 51, “Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen” demonstrates the revered composer’s unmatched inventiveness before the two singers return to the stage for a special finale of Purcell’s Sound the Trumpet.
