Feel the joy! Handel’s Royal Fireworks Music and Rameau’s opera Naïs, subtitled “Opera for Peace,” were composed to celebrate the 1749 treaty between Britain and France. Guest conductor Nicholas McGegan brings this jubilant music to life and is joined by ESO soloists for an evening of Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, and Rameau.

You are invited to attend a Prelude presentation before the Friday, October 14th evening concert, starting at 6:45 PM in the Upper Circle Lobby (3rd Floor). This talk by musicologist D.T. Baker is a fantastic way to learn more about the pieces being performed in your concert.
