Arion Orchestre Baroque - Rigel and the Winds of Revolution

Guest presenters

Arion presents fascinating works from the years surrounding the French Revolution. During those few decades, the French-naturalized composer Henri-Joseph Rigel established a well-deserved reputation, writing works that garnered praise from demanding Parisian audiences. His chamber music, concertos, and opera excerpts on the program will reveal all the lyricism and spirit this lesser-known composer has to offer. For the occasion, we once again welcome the sparkling presence of soprano Magali Simard-Galdès and the brilliant tenor Nicholas Scott, in addition to rising-star Canadian harpsichordist and fortepianist Mélisande McNabney.

Friday, November 4, 2022 - 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, November 5, 2022 - 4 p.m.
Sunday, November 6, 2022 - 2 p.m.
