Early Music Guild presents a deeply moving and musically accomplished 'St. John Passion.'
The work, featuring the torments and fantasies of a tenor about to sing "The Messiah," is having its world premiere in Seattle. There's another performance today (March 17) at 2 pm at the Frye.
The roving annual festival of Handel comes to Seattle this March 11-27, with 30 different concerts presenting Handel in all his flavors.
Ott, from Puyallup, will be featured along with Beethoven by the young American quartet, the Chiara, which will also play a date the next night at Chop Suey.
The Seattle winter festival concludes, with some problems in the balance of strings and piano in Nordstrom Recital Hall.
