Polish countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński has surged to the heights of the international classical music scene with ease, his vibrancy paving his path and setting him apart from the rest. Founded in 2012 by Giulio D’Alessio and Gesine Lübben, Il Pomo d’Oro swiftly established itself as an ensemble of outstanding quality. These powerful forces come together in stunning synchronicity in this Bing Concert Hall performance.

Riveting Polish countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński is among today’s most sought-after singers, celebrated for his beauty of tone and an uncommon unity of color and polish across his vocal range. Last season he made a thrilling company debut as Orpheus at San Francisco Opera, a performance praised by the San Francisco Chronicle as “radiant and magical,” and he has sung with many of the world’s most esteemed early-music groups. Orliński returns to Berkeley this season with the sensational ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro, in a program of rarely performed works from the 16th and 17th centuries—by Monteverdi, Caccini, Frescobaldi, Cavalli, Strozzi, and others. Orliński’s last Cal Performances recital sold out—with audiences demanding multiple encores—so don’t miss this opportunity to hear a true star at the height of his artistry!

Juan Diego Flórez is a superstar tenor adored by fans and critics worldwide. With “phrasing and breath control [that] are things to wonder at” (The Guardian), his voice has been likened to “the engine in a Porsche 911; when you hear it, you know you’re in the presence of something finely tuned and luxurious” (Opera News). Flórez’s most recent Carnegie Hall recital “had the audience exploding in joy” (The New Criterion), and it’s safe to say this concert will, too, with selections by Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi, Puccini, and more.

As a learning community we acknowledge that the San Francisco Conservatory of Music is located on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramatush Ohlone Peoples. For 1000's of years before our arrival, the Ramatush Ohlone were the custodians of this land and these waterways. We are grateful for their stewardship of the land we work, learn and live on.
