4 tickets to Orchestra of St. Luke's and Gil Shaham (valued at $240): Closing event at Caramoor Summer Festival, Aug 2 at 4 p.m.


The Orchestra of St. Luke’s returns to close out the summer season led by the dynamic Xian Zhang . This program reunites the orchestra with world-renowned violinist Gil Shaham, a long-time Caramoor favorite whose numerous appearances here dates back to 1994. The afternoon features Shaham’s definitive interpretation of Barber’s Violin Concerto , a work of inherent sweetness and playfulness. Framed by the wit of Rossini’s L'italiana in Algeri  Overture and the majestic architecture of Mozart’s  ("Jupiter") Symphony, the concert offers a masterclass in both lyrical intimacy and orchestral grandeur.

MAY 11, 2026 8:00 PM


Oratorio Society of New York


STERN AUDITORIUM / PERELMAN STAGE AT CARNEGIE HALL


Handel: Alexander’s Feast

Kent Tritle conductor
Shelén Hughes Camacho soprano
Richard Pittsinger tenor
Sidney Outlaw baritone

A rare performance of George Frideric Handel’s Alexander’s Feast, composed in 1736. An ode to the power of music, OSNY last performed the work in 1878, and it has only been presented in its entirety at Carnegie Hall once before—in 1959! Based on a poem by John Dryden, the work celebrates the feast held by Alexander the Great in honor of his conquest of Persia, where the court musician Timotheus uses music to stir the conqueror’s emotions—moving him from joy to sorrow, to love, and finally to vengeance. The grand choral writing offers moments of both intimacy and majesty, culminating in a final chorus that exalts Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music.
