Event Location: Powel House, 244 South 3rd Street
Step into the musical world of the early American republic, when private gatherings for music, poetry and conversation were central to social and cultural life. Mezzo-soprano and Penn artist-in-residence Meg Bragle leads Handel at Home, a program inspired by the talent, curiosity and hospitality of the 18th-century women who were at the heart of these flourishing artistic circles. Joined by soprano Mary Wilson and harpsichordist Hanbyeol Lee, and set in the historic Powel House, this intimate performance offers a taste of Philadelphia’s lively colonial salons through opera, oratorio and keyboard works by George Frideric Handel, one of the era’s most beloved composers.
