About This Performance

Lauded as “everywhere sharp-edged and engaging” (New York Times), The Sebastians are a dynamic and vital ensemble specializing in music of the baroque and classical eras. They have been praised for their “well-thought-out articulation and phrasing” (Early Music Review) and “elegant string playing… immaculate in tuning and balance” (Early Music Today). For their PCMS debut, The Sebastians are joined by soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon, a PCMS favorite who is noted for her “dazzling, virtuoso singing” (Boston Globe).
