As Artistic Director of the Grammy Award-winning ensemble Apollo’s Fire, Jeannette Sorrell is bringing to life the music of the past for audiences of today. Known for her brilliant interpretations of music from the Baroque and Classical periods (1600-1800), Sorrell joins NWS Fellows in performing music by four superstars of their time. George Frideric Handel moved King George I to extravagant praise with his Water Music. Its large-scale, regal score was premiered while sailing down the river Thames, its joyful notes—rooted in European dances—ringing for miles. Soprano Sonya Headlam shines in scenes from Joseph Bologne’s opera The Anonymous Lover and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s tour de force concert aria Exsultate, jubilate. The evening culminates with dance music from Mozart’s early opera Idomeneo.
