Les Délices presents a concert exploring the mythical tale of Orpheus and his journey through love, loss, and the Underworld.
On Friday, March 8th at Knight Stage of Akron’s Civic Theater, acclaimed ensemble Les Délices presents Song of Orpheus. This is a program of musical works inspired by the Orpheus myth. The concert features French mezzo-soprano Sophie Michaux and acclaimed bass-baritone and composer Jonathan Woody in dramatic cantatas by Jean-Philippe Rameau and Philippe Courbois, plus excerpts from Orpheus, an rarely-performed opera by Georg Philipp Telemann. In addition, audiences will enjoy the premiere live performances of Jonathan Woody’s By much love betray’d, a trio sonata commissioned by Les Délices that traces the arc of Orpheus’ life – from receiving his lyre and the gift of music from Apollo, to his fateful turn in the underworld, and his demise at the hands of the Maenads. THIS VENUE FEATURES A CASH BAR!
