Alexander Weimann, Music Director; Pacific Baroque Orchestra; Krisztina Szabó, mezzo-soprano

The riches of the West Coast’s early music scene continue to develop year after year, and the PBO is thrilled to welcome long-time collaborator, mezzo-soprano Krisztina Szabó, to join them for a programme of baroque music for Christmas. Krisztina has recently been appointed as a professor at the University of British Columbia which will allow for many more innovative and exciting collaborations in the coming years. Music in this festive concert includes Arcangelo Corelli’s Concerto fatto per la notte di Natale, Alessandro Scarlatti’s Cantata pastorale per la Natività and Georg Frederick Handel’s Concerto Grosso op 6 no 8.

Access to the concert is free, but donations are greatly appreciated. Concert will remain online one year from premiere date.
