New Year's Eve With Martin Pearlman + Boston Baroque

Sanders Theatre

The focus of this year's New Year's Eve/New Year's Day concerts from Martin Pearlman and Boston Baroque is Mozart: we're getting his early (he wrote it when he was 12) one-act comic operetta Bastien & Bastienne, with Kristen Watson and Lawrence Jones as the lovelorn shepherds and David Kravitz as the soothsayer, and then his late, great Symphony No. 40. Also on the bill: Kravitz grabs the baton to become the pompous music director in Domenico Cimarosa's intermezzo Il maestro di cappella. Both performances are in Sanders Theatre, 45 Quincy St, Cambridge | December 31 @ 8 pm; January 1 @ 3 pm | $29-$69 | //www.bostonbaroque.org. Filed under: MUSIC
