Upper Valley Baroque Permorms Pergolesi at Chandler
UVB returns to Chandler with one of the most popular works of the 18th century, Giovanni Pergolesi's Stabat Mater: a profound meditation on grief, empathy, and love. The gorgeous vocal lines are at turns soaring and intricate, supported by dramatic yet transparent writing for strings. The second half of UVB's program will feature a selection of virtuosic Italian arias from Handel's Giulio Cesare.
Featured soloists are soprano Chelsea Helm and countertenor Cody Bowers. The period instrument orchestra comprises 12 strings, theorbo, organ (for Pergolesi) and harpsichord (for Handel) played by Ian Watson. Violinist Susanna Ogata serves as concertmaster. Robert Wetzel will provide narration between Handel's arias.
