Washington Bach Consort to Present ‘Orpheus Britannicus’
By David SalazarThe Washington Bach Consort will present “Orpheus Britannicus” on Oct. 30, 2022.
The showcase, which will take place at National Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C. will feature soprano Amy Broadbent, countertenor Clifton Massey, tenor Matthew Loyal Smith, and basses Jonathon Adams and Jason Widney as they take on music by Purcell.
They will be led by Artistic Director Dana Marsh.
“For those unfamiliar with Henry Purcell’s music, to hear it in a live performance for the first time is a revelation,” said Marsh in an official press statement. “There is an emotional immediacy in Purcell’s musical language that captivates the soul. I’m looking immensely forward to this performance.”
The event kicks off at 4 p.m. local time. There will be a pre-concert lecture by Bach scholar Michael Marissen starting at 3 p.m.
