The Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra (PBO) will conclude its 2024/25 season with a program led by the final candidate for the next Music Director. Avi Stein is currently Associate Organist and Chorus Master for Trinity Wall Street and Artistic Director of the Helicon Foundation. The title of the program is Tout de Suite; and it will conclude (appropriately enough) with a “Suite du théâtre,” consisting of instrumental excerpts from music that Jean-Philippe Rameau composed for staged performances of Naïs, Dardanus, Les Boréades, and Les Indes galantes. The program will begin with a dance suite composed by Jean-Féry Rebel in 1715 entitled Les Caractères de la danse. PBO will play an arrangement of this music (presumably for a larger ensemble than Rebel had in mind) by Johann Georg Pisendel. The first half of the program will then conclude with Johann Sebastian Bach’s BWV 1068 (third) orchestral suite in D major. The intermission will be followed by a concerto grosso by George Frideric Handel, the tenth in his Opus 6 collection.
