Naumburg Orchestral Concerts

Join us for an enchanting evening with the Handel & Haydn Society at the Naumburg Orchestral Concerts on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, from 7:30 PM to 9:15 PM. This prestigious event will take place at the iconic Naumburg Bandshell, a symbol of New York's rich musical heritage.

Under the artistic direction of Jonathan Cohen, with Aisslinn Nosky as the director and violinist, the concert promises an unforgettable experience. The evening will feature the exceptional talents of Joélle Harvey (soprano), Ian Watson (organ), and Debra Nagy (oboe), bringing to life a selection of baroque masterpieces.

The program includes Arcangelo Corelli's Concerto grosso in D major, Op. 6 No. 1, a series of movements that showcase the depth and complexity of baroque music. George Frideric Handel's contributions include arias from "Guilio Cesare" and "Semele," as well as the Organ Concerto in F Major, HWV 295, all highlighting the vocal prowess of Joélle Harvey. The concert will also feature Johann Sebastian Bach's Concerto for Violin and Oboe in C Minor, BWV 1060R, a testament to the intricate interplay between violin and oboe.

An intermission will provide a moment of pause before the continuation of this musical journey, culminating in Handel's "Silete venti," HWV 242, a work that promises to leave the audience in awe with its symphonic and vocal beauty.

This performance by the Handel & Haydn Society, a group with a storied history in our concert series since June 2022, is made possible through the generous support of the Bernhill Fund. It marks a continuation of the society's tradition of excellence in performance, bringing classical music to the heart of New York.
