This extraordinary concert presents famed trumpeter Rodney Marsalis in a special collaboration with the critically acclaimed Bach Aria Soloists in an intriguingly beautiful, memorable concert for all music lovers.

  • Handel's jubilant aria, “Let the Bright Seraphim,” with BAS soprano Lindsey Lang in duet with Marsalis
  • Bach's grand Concerto for Trumpet and Keyboard in D with BAS keyboardist Elisa Williams Bickers and Marsalis
  • Selections from Bernstein's iconic “West Side Story”
  • Brilliant Bach Sonata for Violin and Klavier in A with Elizabeth Suh Lane-BAS Founder/Artistic Director/Violin and Elisa Williams Bickers-Harpsichord
