Today’s Guest Musicians
Welcome to today’s visiting musicians, performing music of Bach and Handel. In a recent study by Smithsonian Associates, Handel and Bach were named the “twin creative peaks” of the 18th century, but they followed widely different musical careers.
Soprano Molly Quinn has garnered praise for her interpretation of music from the medieval to the modern. Miss Quinn was a soloist on Trinity Wall Street’s Grammy-nominated recording of Handel’s Israel in Egypt. She has collaborated with Vancouver Early Music, Portland Baroque Orchestra, Apollo’s Fire, TENET, and many others. She has been featured in projects by legendary presenters including The Lincoln Center White Lights Festival, Moscow’s Gold Mask Festival, BAM Next Wave Festival, Bang on a Can marathon, San Francisco Early Music Series, and Carnegie Hall’s Venetian Festival. She is a featured soloist at The Carmel Bach Festival. Miss Quinn received a master’s degree from Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and has served as professor of voice at Sarah Lawrence College.
