This program sparkles with invention and contrast: the stormy brilliance of C.P.E. Bach, the crystalline craftsmanship of Stravinsky, and Britten’s haunting Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings. We’re thrilled to feature two radiant artists—tenor Salvatore Atti and horn player Jesse Clevenger—whose poetic sensitivity and luminous sound will bring Britten’s nocturnal vision vividly to life. Haydn’s
“Miracle” Symphony closes the program with trademark wit and charm.
