TWELFTH NIGHT ENSEMBLE†
Handel’s Aminta e Fillide
Nola Richardson, soprano and Xenia Puskarz Thomas, mezzo-soprano
7:30pm / Mar 21
Twelfth Night, the refreshingly new ensemble of young stars directed by violinist Rachell Ellen Wong and keyboardist David Belkovski, offers a scintillating program featuring Handel’s Aminta e Fillide, a pastoral cantata. Aminta and Fillide, the cantata’s shepherd and nymph, pursue each other through a mythological Greek landscape in arias both virtuosic and poignant. To round out a captivating program, the group performs Vivaldi’s electric sinfonia from his opera, Il Giustino.
† Twelfth Night Ensemble is the EMS 24-25 Ensemble-in-Residence
