Bridgid Eversole, soprano
On Saturday, October 11th at 8:00 p.m. in Kenan Auditorium, the Wilmington Symphony and conductor Steven Errante open a treasure chest of glorious Baroque masterpieces from England, France, Germany, and Italy.
Entitled "If It Ain't Baroque, . . . it's not on this concert" the program is a musical tour of early-18th century Europe with stops along the way for compositions by Handel, Locatelli, Lully, Purcell, and Telemann. "My aim was to explore the music of Baroque composers who were renowned in their day but since have been overshadowed by the famous names like Bach and Vivaldi," says Dr. Steven Errante, now in his 22nd season as conductor and music director of the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra.
 Soprano Bridget Eversole is guest soloist for this memorable evening of Baroque music. "Since vocal and instrumental music were equally important in the Baroque period, Bridgid Eversole will balance our orchestral selections with three stunning arias from an early opera Julius Caesar in Egypt by Georg Frederic Handel," Dr. Errante notes.
