The aforementioned choreographic works will be danced to music by Johann Sebastian Bach, Arcangelo Corelli, Christoph Willibald Gluck, George Frideric Händel, Jean-Baptiste Loeillet, Johann Pachelbel, Jean-Philippe Rameau and Antonio Vivaldi.
Performing with the Bourbon Baroque ensemble will be featured vocal soloist, soprano Caroline Knight Drury. Caroline Knight Drury is hailed by The Courier-Journal as having a voice "light but firm, perfect in placement and pitch, every word absolutely clear and focused." Her recent portrayal of The Mother in Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors at St. Francis in the Fields Episcopal Church was received with high accolades. She holds a Masters of Music degree in vocal performance from the Manhattan School of Music and received a Bachelor of Music degree summa cum laude from the University of Louisville and was the premiere recipient of the Provost’s Award. She has performed the role of Masha with the Kentucky Opera and University of Louisville workshops of Ben Moore’s Enemies: A Love Story. Drury is featured regularly as a soprano soloist with the Choral Arts Society of Louisville, Louisville Bach Society, the Second Presbyterian Sanctuary Choir, the Louisville Orchestra, and Bourbon Baroque: Louisville’s Period Instrument Ensemble.
