American Bach Soloists, Jeffrey Thomas, Conductor
George Frideric Handel, Acis and Galatea; and Johann Sebastian Bach, Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G Major. Jeffrey Thomas directs his renowned players in Bach’s fourth Brandenburg Concerto, a tour de force for violino principale and two recorders. The balance of the program will be devoted to Handel’s pastorale Acis and Galatea. This story of love and jealousy is full of buoyant, witty, charming melodies, making it one of Handel’s most popular operatic works. Acis pursues the nymph Galatea against the advice of his cohort, Damon, angering the envious giant, Polyphemus, whose murderous actions are annulled by a magical transformation. With soprano Nola Richardson as Galatea (debut), tenor Kyle Stegall as Acis (debut), bass Mischa Bouvier as Polyphemus, and tenor Zachary Wilder as Damon (debut).
