Israel in Egypt
Handel's renowned oratorio recounts the story of Jewish travail, trial and triumph. From the plagues to the escape from Egypt, to the jubilant expression of triumph, the oratorio is a milestone in dramatic choral literature. The program also features Handel's Concerto Gross in F major, Op. 3, which captures his vitality and sense of ceremony.
