Baroque Christmas: Music of Stradella and Corelli: Concert Various

Public

Concert

Approved

oin the GRAMMY-winning Boston Early Music Festival for a holiday program showcasing masterworks from the Italian Baroque by Arcangelo Corelli and Alessandro Stradella. Acclaimed Musical Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs and Concertmaster Robert Mealy lead the all-star BEMF Vocal & Chamber Ensembles in two Christmas Cantatas by Stradella alongside Corelli’s cherished Christmas Concerto. Infamously assassinated when he was just 43, the roguish Stradella led a life filled with personal scandals and professional triumphs. He wrote more than 170 cantatas and originated the concerto grosso form made famous by Corelli and Handel. Stradella’s two cantatas written for Christmastime are exquisite and richly colorful works, here performed by a magnificent cast of singers, including GRAMMY-winning tenor Aaron Sheehan, GRAMMY-nominees Teresa Wakim, soprano, and Jesse Blumberg, baritone, as well as beloved sopranos Amanda Forsythe and Danielle Reutter-Harrah, countertenor Nathan Medley, and bass-baritone Douglas Williams.
