In a late addition to her summer calendar, Paulina will perform G.F. Handel’s Armida Abbandonata and Louis-Nicolas Clérambault’s Médée, in the program Storms, Shipwrecks, & Sorcery at the Lakes Area Music Festival in Brainerd, MN.
Storms, Shipwrecks, & Sorcery is a fantastical journey through some of the most dramatic music of the 17th and 18th centuries. This program evokes both literal storms and clouds of rage. Two soprano cantatas stunningly portray sorceresses scorned, both the anguished Armida from Handel’s Armida Abbandonata and the vengeful Médée, namesake of Clérambault’s masterpiece. Artistic advisor and curator Chloe Fedor performs the dizzying La Tempesta di Mare, Vivaldi’s violin concerto depicting a storm at sea.
