Uniquely focused on both the baroque and the brand new, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale (PBO) announces the appointment of TARIK O REGAN as the 40-year old organization s first-ever Composer-in-Residence.
In his three-and-a-half-year residency, O Regan will work closely with Music Director Richard Egarr, the Orchestra, Chorale, and staff, composing new works and establishing immersive relationships within the larger PBO community. This marks the first of two exciting and unprecedented PBO residencies this season.
One of the most played, commissioned, and recorded British-American composers of his generation, Tarik O Regan s prolific output reflects his love of Renaissance vocal writing (his choral works are especially renowned) and the music of North Africa (his family is from Morocco and Algeria). The Washington Post describes his music as exquisite and delicate, while The Philadelphia Inquirer says it evokes previously unheard sound worlds with astonishing effect. B

Rome: Bach s Christmas Oratorio streamed by S. Cecilia From
S. Cecilia continues its digital concert series on idagio.com/live with Bach s Christmas Oratorio, cantatas I, II and III on 18 December.
The concert is conducted by Trevor Pinnock with the S. Cecilia Orchestra and chorus, Katharina Konradi soprano, Catriona Morison mezzo-soprano, Stuart Jackson tenor and Luca Pisaroni bass.
The oratorio was written for Christmas 1735 but was not performed again until 1857. It is in six parts, with each part to be performed on one of the days of the Christmas festivities, but is usually performed in two sections.
The first part covers the birth of Jesus, the second the annunciation of the shepherds and the third the adoration of the shepherds.
