Sylvia sings with the treble component of the Choir of Trinity Wall Street for this performance with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, conducted by Harry Bicket.
Orchestra of St. Luke’s kicks off its 2022–2023 season at Carnegie Hall with conductor Harry Bicket, continuing a multi-season focus on the works of Felix Mendelssohn. The concert begins with the breathless excitement of his Piano Concerto No. 1, a brisk and impactful work bookended by musical fireworks courtesy of pianist Benjamin Grosvenor. Also featured on the program is the complete incidental music Mendelssohn wrote for A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a fantastical and evocative rendering with vocal parts that are beautifully suited for soprano Elena Villalón and mezzo-soprano Cecelia Hall, with narration by David Hyde Pierce.
