London’s lively musical scene was a magnet for musicians across Europe who sought to settle in a robust metropolis. Our program showcases virtuosic works of Italians who made the sojourn, including trio sonatas by Geminiani, Castrucci, and Tessarini, a capriccio for strings and continuo by Veracini, a flute concerto by Sammartini, and a cello sonata by Cervetto.

Boston performance Section A is sold out. Availability remains for other sections.

Thrill to two epic tales of reunification in this all-French program. The Israelites make their miraculous return to their homeland in Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre’s cantata Le Passage sur la mer rouge, and 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 finale.
