We welcome rising star mezzo-soprano Sarah Rose Taylor who joins the Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys and New York Baroque Incorporated in a program of heroic music by Handel and Purcell centered around the four Coronation Anthems. With music defining 17th and 18th century England, this program celebrates the St. George’s Society of New York’s English heritage and longstanding partnership with Saint Thomas Church. This concert was originally planned to celebrate the Society’s 250th anniversary in 2020, making it one of the oldest charitable organizations in the United States.
