About this Event
Giovanni Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is considered one of the masterworks of the Italian Baroque period, its achingly beautiful phrases evoking the pain and anguish of the suffering and death of Christ. Accompanying this work are two sinfonias for strings and continuo by Antonio Vivaldi.
Soprano Elissa Edwards is an exponent of vocal chamber music and opera of the 17th and 18th centuries hailed for her "pliant, seductive, free-ranging voice" (Gramophone) and her "glistening tone" (Early Music America).
Recognized for her “velvety legato and embracing warmth of sound” (Washington Classical Review) and “lyric-mezzo of uncommon beauty” (The Washington Post,) mezzo soprano Kristen Dubenion-Smith enjoys an active performing career in oratorio and sacred vocal chamber music, specializing in music of the medieval, renaissance and baroque eras.
