Jeannette Sorrell live in New York

Experience Jeannette Sorrell live on December 9th

Jeannette Sorrell, a harpsichordist and conductor renowned for her historically informed performances, will present a concert at David Geffen Hall in New York City on December 9, 2026. Sorrell’s musical approach centers on reviving Baroque and Classical-era repertoire, often utilizing original instruments or meticulously crafted replicas to recreate the sound world intended by composers like Bach, Handel, and Scarlatti. She frequently leads ensembles from the keyboard, emphasizing clarity of articulation and a dynamic responsiveness characteristic of period performance practice. Sorrell is the founder and artistic director of Apollo’s Fire, a celebrated baroque orchestra.

David Geffen Hall, located at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, underwent a substantial renovation completed in late 2022. Originally named Philharmonic Hall when it opened in 1962, it served as the primary performance space for the New York Philharmonic. The hall was later renamed Avery Fisher Hall following a significant donation, before becoming David Geffen Hall in 2015. The recent renovation focused on improving acoustics and audience experience; previous iterations of the hall were frequently criticized for sonic deficiencies.
