Due to the wildfires in Los Angeles, the January 11 + 12 performances of CELESTIALS: MOBLEY + VIVALDI at The Wallis and The Huntington, respectively, have been postponed.

Meditate on sorrow, forgiveness, and the divine feminine as countertenor Reginald Mobley interprets Vivaldi’s rendition of Stabat Mater. Stroll through England in good company with songs by Purcell and Dowland before hearing Handel’s Eternal Source of Light Divine, written for Queen Anne’s birthday in 1713. Baroque trumpet features throughout, including the World Premiere of End of Empire, a LACO commission by Jeff Beal.
