HER 2020 - 2021 SEASON RE-IMAGINED Celebrating the Impact of Women on the World Live Performances April 21 - 25, 2021 Online Video Concert May 14 - 28, 2021MUSIC FOR THE ROYAL SHE True Concord Choir, Soloists & Orchestra Imagine courts deciding who you were going to marry — sight unseen. Think of sailing through stormy seas to a distant shore, reaching land and walking with your new stranger-husband for miles. Finally, in slightly more royal style, a bumpy carriage reaches your new home — a large, cold castle. Hers was a life of power without self-determination. Jealousy, whispers, great responsibility and little freedom. At least she deserved a song! The young princess Caroline traveled to Britain, making her only sea voyage to start her new life as Queen. Her safe arrival was celebrated by a composition that was later played at her funeral, welcoming her to heaven. An important patron of Viennese music, Maria Theresa, the last Holy Roman Empress and the first Empress of Austria, was herself the soprano soloist at private court performances of Haydn’s The Creation and The Seasons. Handel’s Zadok the Priest has been performed at every British coronation since George II, including the current Queen Elizabeth II. George Frideric Handel: Zadok the Priest George Frideric Handel - Te Deum for Queen Caroline Joseph Haydn - Theresienmesse for the Empress Maria Theresa Elegant — Regal A Jubilant Celebration!
