Baritone Jonathan Woody and soprano Hannah De Priest recount the story of Orpheus’ descent to the underworld, his charming of Hades, and his attempt to bring Eurydice back to the land of the living in rarely-heard cantatas by Jean-Philippe Rameau and Philippe Courbois. The program opens with Jonathan Woody’s By much love betray’d, a new trio sonata commissioned by Les Délices that reimagines the powerful magic of Orpheus’ lyre.
