The exciting next-generation period-instrument ensemble Twelfth Night makes its Berkeley debut with a lively concert performance of Handel's romantic comedy Aminta e Fillide.
Founded by violinist Rachell Ellen Wong and harpsichordist David Belkovski (who made their Cal Performances debuts with cellist Coleman Itzkoff during the 2022-23 season), the group has been praised for its "sensitivity and virtuosity" and "impeccable playing" (New York Classical Review).
In the part of the shepherd Aminta, soprano Nicoletta Berry sings the beloved aria "Se vago rio fra sassi"; and as the nymph Fillide, mezzo-soprano Megan Moore gives us "Fiamma bella ch'al ciel s'invia." Excerpts from Vivaldi's opera Il Giustino showcase the ensemble's fiery instrumentalists.
