House of Time: The Big Bang (The Lounge)

The Big Bang
Rameau’s Zais and Handel’s Fireworks 
The daring, impressionistic overture of Zaïs depicts the creation of the world, proceeding from chaos to order, while the dances that follow present the kaleidoscopic world of 18th century ballet music through the lens of Rameau’s colorful wit. Then sparks fly as House of Time takes you to Baroque London with its version of Handel’s Fireworks Music. Handel’s paean to peace is transformed into exciting and elegant chamber music in Gonzalo X. Ruiz’s arrangement.
November 9th at The Lounge at 7:30pm
