First New York Times Review: "a beautifully shaped performance"

St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble’s production of Haydn’s Lo Spezíale—the fourth performance of the Ensemble’s first season—is reviewed by The New York Times and described as “a beautifully shaped performance, giving the little orchestra its full due but also maintaining the nicest of balances between it and the singers.”

Additional Quotes from The New York Times:

A simple, but cleverly designed and painted set placed in front of the altar transformed the space into a reasonable facsimile of an 18thcentury pharmacy, the excellent accompanying chamber orchestra sat in a side aisle, and it all worked like a charm.

It is a pleasure to report that this production of “Lo Speziale” will be done again in June. It’s well worth seeing and hearing.
