Experience an unforgettable evening of music that bridges the past and present at the MainStage Live event featuring Les Délices with Nicholas Phan. This remarkable concert is scheduled for February 24, 2025, at 7:30 PM, taking place at the prestigious PNC Theatre located at 350 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

This unique performance will showcase an exquisite blend of Baroque-era masterpieces and contemporary compositions, challenging and expanding the boundaries of early music. The evening will feature works by Michel Pignolet de Montéclair, Marin Marais, François Couperin, and the Pittsburgh debut of "A Moment’s Oblivion" by Vietnamese-American composer Viet Cuong. This world premiere, commissioned by Les Délices, draws inspiration from a traditional Chinese Confucian myth, exploring themes of illness, memory loss, healing, and acceptance through the lens of experimental treatments.

Grammy-nominated tenor Nicholas Phan, celebrated for his captivating stage presence and exceptional musicianship, will join forces with the early music ensemble Les Délices. Together, they will weave a narrative that connects Baroque traditions with modern sensibilities, highlighted by the performance of period instruments.

Les Délices, known for their innovative programming and world-class performances, features a talented lineup including Shelby Yamin on violin, Mark Edwards on harpsichord, Debra Nagy on baroque oboe, and Rebecca Landell on baroque cello and viola da gamba.
