Concerts at the Frick: Jupiter Ensemble, Lea Desandre, Anthony Roth Costanzo

For the inaugural performance in the Frick’s stunning Stephen A. Schwarzman Auditorium, the acclaimed Jupiter Ensemble and mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre bring their unparalleled energy and vitality to the music of George Frideric Handel. Led by lutenist Thomas Dunford, the Jupiter Ensemble has garnered critical acclaim for its interpretations of music by Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, and Monteverdi. To mark this special event, superstar countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo will join Dunford for the world premiere of a new work by American composer Nico Muhly, inspired by Giovanni Bellini’s St. Francis in the Desert, an iconic painting from the Frick’s permanent collection.
