Whether written for the chapel or crafted for the
stage, Baroque music goes hand in hand with theater.
Nicholas Kraemer leads Handel’s thrilling Dixit
Dominus and Bach’s impassioned Cantata 131, “Out
of the depths / I call, Lord, to you.” Excerpts from
Purcell’s Fairy Queen, a perfect marriage of poetry
and dance, round out a night of musical drama.

Dan Maki will give preconcert lectures Sunday, May 12, 6:30 pm, at the Doubletree Hotel (Athens Room) adjacent to the North Shore Center, and Monday, May 13, 6:30 pm, at the Harris Theater.
