- **Event Description**: 1757 Philadelphia staged Alfred: A Masque. Night Music revives it, tracing music’s path to American independence.About this EventNight Music presents Alfred: A MasqueIn 1757, Philadelphia hosted one of the earliest large-scale musical dramas in the American colonies: Alfred: A Masque, featuring music by Thomas Augustine Arne and the first appearance of the tune “Rule, Britannia!” Performed before governors, military leaders, and perhaps even George Washington, the production was a bold expression of British patriotism at a pivotal moment during the French and Indian War. Yet it also reflected a growing sense of colonial identity that would soon reshape history.Night Music reimagines this remarkable Philadelphia event in a vibrant, historically inspired concert performance. Rather than reconstructing the 1757 pastiche exactly, co-directors Heather Miller Lardin and Steven Zohn craft a new adaptation drawn from the original score and related repertoire by Handel and his contemporaries. Performed with one-to-a-part strings and an outstanding roster of Baroque specialists, this oratorio-style presentation brings to life the sound world of mid-18th-century Philadelphia: when music, politics, and identity intertwined on the eve of independence.Tickets required | Pay what you wishPremium Seating: $50 minimum donationSoprano: Jessica Beebe, Rebecca MyersAlto: Meg BragleTenor: James Reese, Jeffrey ThompsonFlute: Steven ZohnOboe: Geoffrey Burgess, Ellen ExnerViolin: Karen Dekker, Mandy WolmanViola: Amy LeonardCello: Eve MillerDouble bass: Heather Miller LardinHarpsichord: Adam Pearl
