The Clarion Choir joins The English Concert and conductor Harry Bicket for a performance of Georg Friedrich Handel’s dramatic oratorio, Solomon. Richly orchestrated and written for a double chorus, this is one of Handel's most grand oratorios. The wisdom of King Solomon is celebrated in memorable scenes such as the consecration of the Temple in Jerusalem and the performance of a masque during the state visit of the Queen of Sheba.

The Carnegie Hall performance on March 12th follows an international tour of the work which includes performances at:

Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid (Feb 26)
Barbican in London (Feb 28)
Cal Performances in Berkeley (Mar 5)
LA Opera (March 10).
