Fresh off his 2025 London Proms success with the Irish Baroque Orchestra, Music Director Peter Whelan opens the 2026/27 subscription season with Handel’s Alexander’s Feast. Centered on a banquet honoring Alexander the Great, the poet Timotheus uses song to guide the room from pride to tenderness, from fury to reflection — a demonstration of music’s power to shape emotion and action.

A bright, celebratory program for the holiday season brings together composers working in the same 18th-century musical world, each writing in a distinct voice. Handel’s “Let the Bright Seraphim” and Bach’s Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen frame the concert with brilliant writing for soprano and trumpet. Telemann offers humor and narrative in his Burlesque de Quixotte, C.P.E. Bach explores emotional contrast in his cello concerto, and Marianna Martines adds a rarely heard Viennese voice to the program.
