Polish countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński is one of the world’s leading singers, triumphing on stage, in concert, and on recordings. His sold-out recitals throughout Europe and the United States have attracted new followers to the art form. The ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro is characterized by an authentic, dynamic interpretation of operas and instrumental works from the Baroque and Classical periods. The musicians are all well-known specialists and are among the best in the field of historical performance practice. These dynamic musicians join forces to showcase rarely performed works from the 16th and 17th centuries by Monteverdi, Caccini, Frescobaldi, Cavalli, Strozzi, and others in what will surely be one of the most highly anticipated events of the season.
