Fresh off his 2025 London Proms success with the Irish Baroque Orchestra, Music Director Peter Whelan opens the 2026/27 subscription season with Handel’s Alexander’s Feast. Centered on a banquet honoring Alexander the Great, the poet Timotheus uses song to guide the room from pride to tenderness, from fury to reflection — a demonstration of music’s power to shape emotion and action.
