Description

Presented by Ars Lyrica Houston

In Praise of Virtue features soprano Hannah DePriest and countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen in two rarely heard solo cantatas: J. S. Bach’s beautifully reflective Ich bin vergnügt (BWV 84) and G. F. Handel’s glittering Splenda l’alba in oriente (HWV 166). Excerpts from Johann Adolph Hasse’s Marc-Antonio e Cleopatra set this noble love story with luscious melodies and spectacular virtuosity, in arias and duets for both soloists.

Featured artists:

Hannah DePriest, soprano*

Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, countertenor

*Ars Lyrica debut

Grammy-nominated ensemble Ars Lyrica Houston specializes in music from the Baroque era, transporting listeners back in time to the “golden age” of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Through performances on period instruments with careful attention to historical style and context, Ars Lyrica brings imaginative, world-class performances of early music to Houston.
