Julia Lezhneva falls ill
Due to an acute sore throat, soprano Julia Lezhneva has been forced to cancel her upcoming concerts featuring the Baroque «Koffer-Arien» program with the Basel Chamber Orchestra. Fortunately, soprano Maayan Licht will take her place. The program will be adjusted but will continue to focus on Baroque opera arias combined with Handel’s Concerti Grossi.
