Alexander’s Feast—Or, The Power of Music by G.F. Handel, is a remarkable musical tale. It relates how the rapturous song of a musician named Timotheus aroused and moved Alexander the Great.
Bach Society Houston collaborates with Ars Lyrica Houston for the closing event of this season. The Bach Choir performs the choral portion of Handel’s Alexander’s Feast – Or, The Power of Music which will take place on Sunday, May 17 at 6:00 pm at Zilkha Hall at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts.
