GRAMMY-nominated Baroque ensemble Ars Lyrica Houston’s season opener, In Praise of Virtue, spotlights countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, a “young star” (New York Times) and local favorite since his time in the HGO Studio. Nussbaum Cohen will share the stage with “breakout” soprano (Boston Globe) Hannah DePriest, in her Ars Lyrica debut.
This program features two rarely heard solo cantatas by J.S. Bach and G.F. Handel and dramatic excerpts from J.A. Hasse’s noble love story, Marc-Antonio e Cleopatra, all performed with Ars Lyrica’s renowned Baroque orchestra.
In-person and digital tickets are available at the Ars Lyrica website.
