Holiday Salon: Baroque & Beyond

Be our guest for a festive evening that captures the spirit of the season through music spanning centuries, from the timeless grace of Bach and Vivaldi to the charm and wit of Poulenc, the passion of Piazzolla, and the unmistakable swing of Gershwin.

Led from the harpsichord by Karén Hakobyan, Pegasus’s Founder, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor, this intimate concert features Pegasus principals Ari Evan, cello, Yasmina Spiegelberg, clarinet, and Anna Urrey, flute in a program that bridges the elegance of the Baroque with the warmth and joy of the holidays. Set within a beautiful Upper East Side residence, the evening offers a rare opportunity to experience the artistry and brilliance of Pegasus up close.

Celebrate the holidays with us. Enjoy beautiful music, good company, and a festive atmosphere to toast the season.
