It’ll also open the evening with Handel, playing his Concerto Grosso in A major, Opus 6, No. 11.

In beween they’ll play Suite from Les Boreades by Handel’s 18th-century contemporary Jean-Philippe Rameau and 17th-century Henry Purcell’s Suite from King Arthur. British conductor Harry Bicket will be on the podium. Tickets are $29-$162.
