Ars Lyrica Houston Presents LONG LIVE THE QUEEN
Ars Lyrica Houston presents the 2017/2018 Artful Women season concert, Long Live the Queen on Saturday, April 7th 2018 at 7:30pm in Zilkha Hall at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts. This regal program commemorates two beloved female patrons with J. S. Bach's rarely heard Trauerode, written for the 1717 funeral of Christiane Eberhardine of Saxony, and Handel's 1713 Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne. Both works call for multiple soloists, chorus, and unusually expressive orchestral forces, including two violas da gamba and lutes in the Bach cantata and an echo trumpet at the beginning of Handel's ode.
A stellar array of soloists including countertenors, Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, Ryland Angel, soprano Dominique McCormick, tenor Tony Boutte, baritone Mark Diamond, and the award-winning UH Moores School Concert Chorale join the Ars Lyrica ensemble for some noble and hauntingly beautiful music. Soloists: Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, countertenor; Ryland Angel, countertenor; Dominique McCormick, soprano; Tony Boutte, tenor; Mark Diamond, baritone.
