Emmanuel Music partners with Urbanity Dance, and critically acclaimed choreographer,
Shura Baryshnikov, for an exploration on the wilder boundaries of the theme of love. Esteemed soloists Carley DeFranco, soprano; Krista River, mezzo; William Hite, tenor; and Clark Matthews, horn; and the orchestra of Emmanuel Music will perform three cantata-inspired works of Britten — Phaedra, Serenade, and Les Illuminations. This unique performance will guide you from the heights of Greek melodrama to the libertine Bacchanalias of Arthur Rimbaud, in an expression of the everlasting theme of intemperate and unrestrained love.
