America's premier Baroque ensemble joins us with music director and harpsichordist Richard Egarr and countertenor Reginald Mobley, bringing their compelling program performed to acclaim in the UK.
Centered on the creation story, "Garden of Good & Evil" pairs Handel arias with modern works for Baroque forces by celebrated composers Errollyn Wallen and Tarik O'Regan – jointly commissioned to write new music exploring an aspect of the Biblical creation story. Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra's blend of authenticity and innovation and juxtaposition of old and new is beautifully illuminated in this musical examination of the most profound of themes.
