Welcome to All the Pleasures - Downtown United Presbyterian Church 11/11/18
In collaboration with the 18th Annual Rochester Early Music Festival, First Inversion presents Welcome to All the Pleasures. The concert features two odes to the Patroness of Music, St. Cecilia, by Baroque masters, George Frederick Handel and Henry Purcell. Soloists, Robin Steitz (soprano) Salvador Lopez Portillo (countertenor) Pablo Bustos (tenor) and Michael Galvin (bass) join First Inversion with an orchestra of period instruments. Handels Ode for St. Cecilias Day, and Purcell's Welcome to All the Pleasures, were both written for the feast of St. Cecilia, celebrated every year on November 22nd. Purcells work delights the senses with the gentle sounds of strings and continuo. Handel fortifies his longer work with flute, oboes, trumpets, and timpani.
*Please Note: This event will be at two locations. You are looking at Sunday, November 11th 4:30pm
(An earlier performance will be held Friday November 9th at Calvary St. Andrews Church. Seperate ticket)
