Concert | Twelfth Night: Convergence
On sale June 1, 11 AM EST
$60; $50 for Morgan Members
Historical performance ensemble Twelfth Night takes audiences to seventeenth-century Amsterdam, in conjunction with the exhibition Rembrandt's Lions: Art and Exile in the Dutch Republic. At a time when Amsterdam was becoming the heart of European musical exchange, publisher Estienne Roger’s presses produced works by Arcangelo Corelli, Tomaso Albinoni, and François Couperin, among others; music that might have remained regional but instead became international sensations. Twelfth Night captures this electric moment of convergence, when borders dissolved and a new, pan-European musical language was born.

Tomaso Albinoni, Trio Sonata in D Minor, Op. 1 No. 1

Twelfth Night is an historical performance ensemble led by David Belkovski and Rachell Ellen Wong. Wong is the only baroque artist to ever receive an Avery Fisher Career Grant and Belkovski is the first recipient in the field of early music to receive the Levinson Arts Achievement Award. Inspired by Shakespeare’s play of the same name, their performances evoke a spirit of boundless revelry, celebration, and community. Twelfth Night has performed in concert halls and festivals including the Heifetz International Music Institute, Chamber Music Society of Logan, Carnegie Hall, and the Milwaukee Symphony.
This concert takes place in Gilder Lehrman Hall on the Ground Floor. Doors to the Hall will open 30 minutes before the concert begins. Attendees are invited to view Rembrandt’s Lions: Art and Exile in the Dutch Republic before the concert from 5:30 to 7 PM.
