Event: Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale — Handel's The Power of Music

Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at 7:30 PM at Bing Concert Hall

Fresh off his 2025 BBC Proms success with the Irish Baroque Orchestra, Music Director Peter Whelan sets the table with Handel’s Alexander’s Feast. Centered on a banquet honoring Alexander the Great, the poet Timotheus uses song to steer the room from pride to tenderness and from fury to reflection, displaying music's power to create emotion, not just accompany it. Performed in Dublin in 1742, just weeks before the world premiere of Messiah, this work gives the soloists, chorale, and orchestra each their own moments, with Handel passing the story among them as the drama unfolds.

This lottery is open to Stanford graduate students only.
