Can Music Change the Course of History?Three centuries ago, George Frideric Handel explored a bold idea: that music doesn't simply accompany a story, it can change how people think, feel, and act.Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra &amp; Chorale presents Handel's The Power of Music, featuring Alexander's Feast, a choral and vocal masterpiece inspired by a legendary banquet celebrating Alexander the Great's victory over Persia. As the feast unfolds, the poet and musician Timotheus leads the conqueror through a whirlwind of emotions, ultimately changing the course of history.Bay Area audiences will be the first in the United States to hear the 1742 Dublin version of Alexander's Feast, created during Handel's extended stay in Ireland that culminated in the premiere of Messiah. Adapting the work for the performers available to him, Handel reassigns music between voice parts and expands it into three sections. Performed on period instruments and in the style of the time, you'll hear the music much as Handel and his first audiences did.Following sold out season-opening performances of Handel's Tolomeo, Music Director Peter Whelan opens his first season with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra &amp; Chorale. Joined by soprano Sherezade Panthaki, mezzo-soprano Rachael Wilson, tenor James Way, and the Philharmonia Chorale under the direction of Valerie Sainte-Agathe, these performances showcase the full power and mastery of Handel's writing for orchestra, soloists, and chorus.Stanford: Wednesday, November 11 at 7:30 PM (Bing Hall)San Francisco: Friday, November 13 at 7:30 PM (Herbst Theatre)Berkeley: Saturday, November 14 at 2:30 PM (First Congregational Church)Tickets as low as $40. $20 tickets for Under 30s available in San Francisco and Berkeley.

Baroque Brilliance: Music for a Festive OccasionFrom soaring soprano melodies to triumphant trumpet fanfares, Baroque composers knew how to make an occasion feel special. This holiday season, experience festive music filled with virtuosity, wit, and exuberance, performed on period instruments and in the style of the time, so you'll hear the music much as its first audiences did.Philharmonia Baroque presents two exhilarating showpieces for soprano and trumpet: Handel's "Let the Bright Seraphim" and J.S. Bach's Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen. Famously performed by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa at the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, Handel's aria pairs soprano and trumpet in a thrilling musical dialogue, while Bach's jubilant music bursts with joy and celebration.You'll also hear Telemann's Burlesque de Quixotte, a witty orchestral portrait of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, complete with the knight's swagger and comic misadventures. C.P.E. Bach's expressive cello concerto offers an intimate contrast, while a West Coast Premiere by Marianna Martines introduces music by an influential contemporary of Mozart and Haydn.Guest conductor Patrick Dupre Quigley leads Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, joined by soprano Kathryn Mueller and Philharmonia musicians featured as soloists: cellist William Skeen, oboist Gonzalo X. Ruiz, and trumpeter Kathryn Adduci.Palo Alto: Thursday, December 3 at 7:30 PM (First United Methodist Church)&nbsp;&nbsp;San Francisco: Friday, December 4 at 7:30 PM (Herbst Theatre)&nbsp;&nbsp;Berkeley: Saturday, December 5 at 2:30 PM (First Congregational Church)Tickets as low as $40 and $20 for Under 30s.
