51st Annual Religious Arts Festival: Chatham Baroque

We will continue the tradition of “Early Music on Fridays” with a return performance of the instrumental ensemble Chatham Baroque from Pittsburgh. Performing on instruments replicated from the 18th century, they will present the stunning Gloria by George Frideric Handel, featuring soprano Pascale Beaudin, strings, and harpsichord. Other works on the program include trio sonatas for two violins and basso continuo by Handel and Dietrich Buxtehude; the rousing “Rejoice Greatly” from Handel’s Messiah; and a set of chorales by Baroque master, Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged by Chatham Baroque.
