The Grammy-winning conductor Jeannette Sorrell, hailed as “lithe, glowing and elegant” (The New York Times), delivers her keen insight into the music of the 18th century in this dazzling lineup featuring Mozart, Handel, and Bach in their full splendor. BSO Principal Oboe Katherine Needleman unearths a lost gem, reconstructing Bach’s original oboe version of a searing harpsichord concerto. A suite by the long-overlooked André Grétry revives opera music that once took Europe by storm.
Featured soloist BSO Principal Oboe Katherine Needleman is the holder of the Robert H. and Ryda H. Levi Chair
