Thrill to two epic tales of reunification in this all-French program.

Star-crossed lovers are reunited in the land of immortals in Clerambault’s cantata Leandre et Hero. Clerambault’s Sonata La Felicité and an overture by Charpentier complete this season opener. With soprano Teresa Wakim.
December 18: Sounding Joy

Classical works to celebrate the season, including Mozart’s Exsultate Jubilate in its less often heard Christmas version.

With soprano Jessica Petrus.
