Mistral’s 29th Season continues just on the heels of Thanksgiving, once again heralding the holiday season with a pair of concerts that celebrate the glorious repertoire of the Baroque era. A dream team of eleven Mistral artists will be featured in beloved masterpieces of the most iconic composers of the era. As always, the dynamic concerto soloists will take turns in the spotlight, including strings, flute, oboe, mezzo soprano, and harpsichord. They include several Mistral members: founding artistic director and flutist Julie Scolnik, violist Stephanie Fong, double bassist Donald Palma (founder of Orpheus Chamber Orchestra), husband and wife team Qing Hou and Lawrence Neuman (violin and viola) who hail from the Chicago Symphony, violinists Maureen Nelson and Julia Glen of the Lydian String Quartet, harpsichordist Ian Watson, known for his prominent role with the Handel/Haydn Society, cellist Jan Müller-Szeraws, and two NYC artists, oboist Kemp Jernigan, and acclaimed mezzo soprano Kara Dugan.These eleven musicians will be featured in various combinations of solo, double and triple concerti by Telemann, Vivaldi, Purcell, Handel, and in three poignant arias for mezzo soprano.
