Eight Gigs: Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra

Those who were lucky enough to catch mezzo-soprano Susan Graham’s titillating cabaret-style performance last February need little coercing to come out in force again. She’ll be joining musical director and conductor Nicholas McGegan with San Francisco’s Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. The program is equally compelling and includes special period pieces solely by the late great George Frideric Handel, considered by many one to be of the greatest composers of the Baroque era. 1 Shields Avenue in Davis, http://philharmonia.org.
