Philadelphia Debut // Philadelphia Premiere “One of the period-instrument world’s most successful ensembles” (The New York Times), The English Concert performs in Philadelphia for the first time following sold-out appearances at Carnegie Hall. Conducted by Harry Bicket, enjoy the sparkling Handel oratorio Semele, a tale of a princess’ love affair with a god told in a stream of easy-flowing melodies and dazzling coloratura. With show-stopping arias including “Endless pleasure, endless love” and “Where’er you walk,” The English Concert’s stunning and critically lauded operas-in-concert promise a very special evening.
