Our collaboration with Community Concerts at Second culminates Handel Choir’s season with Song of the Birds, a tribute to the life and music of cellist Pablo Casals. We are thrilled to welcome Peabody faculty cellist Amit Peled, widely celebrated for his many concerts and recordings playing Casals’ own cello. Our program includes Bach’s beloved Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, followed by the premiere of Houses of Peace by Baltimore composer Joshua Bornfield, his new work for cello and chorus that echoes the structure of Bach’s masterwork while weaving a tale of hope amidst the ravages of war.
