Enrico Gatti returns to lead a concert re-creating the musical splendor of the Arcadian Academy of Rome, whose leading composers were Bernardo Pasquini, Arcangelo Corelli, and Alessandro Scarlatti. The program features the North American premiere of Pasquini’s festive cantata Applauso Musicale with concerto grosso orchestra and principal soloists Sarah Chalfy, Laura Heimes, and Clara Rottsolk, sopranos; Gregorio Taniguchi, tenor; and Steven Hrycelak, bass with additional music by Corelli and Scarlatti. Instrumental soloists will be Enrico Gatti and Cynthia Freivogel, violins, and Loretta O’Sullivan, cello. Dr. Barbara Hanning will give spoken program notes throughout the performance.
