Alexander's Feast

Saratoga Voices present Alexander's Feast, the Handel oratorio, in its glorious entirely this coming Saturday May 9th. Adapted from the ode by John Dryden, it’s a compilation of the story of Alexander the Great’s feast in Persia prior to sacking the city of Persepolis, woven into his love for Thais and an allegory about the power of music, all with some of the most splendid music he ever wrote. Happy, happy, happy! Music Director Noah Palmer joins us to tell us more

Charlotte Wilson has been immersed in classical music all her life. Her parents were great music lovers, always had something playing on the radio or turntable, and she began on recorder and then piano before she can remember. Charlotte originally wanted to be a concert pianist but just didn’t quite have it, no matter how hard she practiced! She tried many other instruments slightly too late (violin, cello, clarinet) before discovering radio. Charlotte can be heard from 4-8pm weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays.
