Conductor

Harpsichordist

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.

Sorrell Conducts Baroque And Classical Masters

The Music Center at Strathmore

OSL’s annual celebration of JS Bach opens with two of Bach’s most jubilant cantatas, sung by soprano Joélle Harvey and led by baroque specialist Jeannette Sorrell.

Cantatas with Harvey

Carnegie Hall

This heartwarming program from Jeannette Sorrell follows the hopes and fears of the Irish who bravely crossed the Atlantic, bringing their music with them. Irish singer Fiona Gillespie joins with fiddlers, medieval harp, hammered dulcimer, and bagpipes in this communal celebration of the American immigrant experience – welcoming Christmas with LOVE, SINGING, DANCING, and PRAYER.

Wassail!

Spirits will soar at “Lift Up Your Heads” and the “Hallelujah Chorus” as well as the treasured arias that make Handel’s Messiah the must-hear classic of the holidays. Jeannette Sorrell, who “brings revelations” (Philadelphia Inquirer) to everything she conducts, leads the New Jersey Symphony and the phenomenal Montclair State University Singers.
