United Palace: Twelfth Night

Date: Wednesday, October 23 | Time: 7–8:30pm | FREE
Twelfth Night

David Belkovski and Rachell Ellen Wong, directors

Nola Richardson, soprano
Roderick Williams, baritone
Ximenez & Handel

Twelfth Night presents a night of unforgettable music in a spectacular venue. Divided by an ocean and living more than a century apart, Pedro Ximenez and George Frideric Handel represent the two vibrant cultures of Peru and Italy. In spite of any differences, they eagerly drew on the artistic traditions buzzing around them. Ximenez’ music deftly weaves folk song around classical structures while Handel derived his inspiration from ancient Roman stories. Join Twelfth Night at the United Palace for this special night!

Based in NYC, Twelfth Night is an ensemble of historical performance specialists led by David Belkovski and Rachell Ellen Wong, formed with the firm belief that art is best explored as a meeting place of the past, present, and future. Twelfth Night projects and engagements range from small chamber music (2-5 musicians) to larger orchestral and operatic productions. Inspired by Shakespeare’s play of the same name, the ensemble strives to invoke a spirit of boundless revelry, celebration, and community in their programming. The two co-founders are regarded as key young representatives of early music: Rachell is the only baroque artist to receive an Avery Fisher Career Grant and David is the only recipient in the field of early music to receive the Levinson Arts Achievement Award.

 

This program is supported by the United Palace of Cultural Arts, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

The Washington Heights-based Luminae Trio is excited to present a diverse selection of works that draw from a wide range of musical styles and influences. Featuring Beethoven and Jennifer Higdon, two composers from distinct backgrounds, the program shares moments of both great excitement and deep intimacy.

The Luminae Trio is composed of two WHCO members, Jacob Nordlinger (cello) and Elizabeth Wright (violin), alongside fellow uptowner Jestin Pieper (piano). It is the group’s unified vision not only to share chamber music as a means of communication and expression, but also to illuminate the works of lesser-known and underrepresented composers and make this music known.
