The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment celebrates the 300th anniversary of the birth of Pergolesi. Best known for his impassioned Stabat Mater, in this concert Pergolesi is honoured with performances of two of his settings of the hymn to the Virgin Mary, Salve Regina, which showcase his moving, eloquent and hauntingly beautiful writing. 

Soprano Roberta Invernizzi and conductor Roberto Polastri bring Italianate flair to these works, and complement them with concert arias and two symphonies by Mozart.

Pergolesi: Salve Regina in C minor 
Mozart: Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K183
Mozart: Alma grande e nobil core, K 578 
Pergolesi: Salve Regina in A minor
