Join us for a different take on the traditional St. Patrick’s Day experience with music from the Olivier Award-winning Irish Baroque Orchestra, Ireland's time-traveling orchestra and director Peter Whelan.

The Trials of Tenducci celebrates an 18th-century period of extraordinary European music, telling the story of Giusto Tenducci, a celebrated Italian castrato who took Dublin by storm in 1765, with works from Mozart, Gluck, J.C. Bach, JC Fisher, Giordani, and Arne.

The orchestra is joined by rising star countertenor Hugh Cutting for this captivating program.

This performance is supported in part by gifts from Erv Blythe and Ms. Susan M. Hansen. Additional funding is provided by the G. Davis Saunders, Jr. Fund for Excellence.

This is the first performance at the center for Irish Baroque Orchestra and Cutting.

This performance will last approximately 90 minutes with one intermission.*
