Beloved soprano, Linh Kauffman joins EMM for a program contemplating hope, longing, and happiness in the works of German composers, Bach, Handel, and Schmelzer. Among the highlights we hear Bach urging
Rejoice, sing, be merry, and Handel’s Figlio d’alte speranze, retelling the tale of Abdalonymus, a lowly gardener who would become king.
