About the Concert

In this program entitled Snapshots, we bring the audience on a journey through space and time, stopping to capture vivid moments along the way. We invite you to travel back four centuries with us; bask in the sounds of French Impressionism and fiery Romanticism; take a walk through the streets of 18th century Madrid; and finally, dance the night away with a rousing fandango!

Spend the evening surrounded by venerable architecture and floor-to-ceiling curated art in a beautiful Gilded Age brownstone in New York’s oldest arts club.

About the Ensemble

Described as “an absolute gift to see live” (The Nevada Sagebrush), Twelfth Night is a refreshingly new ensemble of historical performance specialists led by keyboardist David Belkovski and violinist Rachell Ellen Wong, formed with the firm belief that art is best explored as a meeting place of the past, present, and future. Inspired by Shakespeare’s play of the same name, the ensemble strives to invoke a spirit of boundless revelry, celebration, and community in their programming.

Based in New York City and founded in 2021, the two directors are regarded as key young representatives of early music: Rachell is the only baroque artist to receive an Avery Fisher Career Grant and David is the first recipient in the field of early music to receive the Levinson Arts Achievement Award. In the 2022-23 season, Twelfth Night was hosted in concert series across the country, including Arizona Early Music (Tucson), Chatham Baroque (Pittsburgh), Chamberfest Brown County (Nashville, IN), Music Before 1800 (NYC), and Apex Concert Series (Reno).

David and Rachell met during their time as students in the Historical Performance division of The Juilliard School. Endless hours rehearsing and performing together confirmed a special chemistry and shared vision, inspiring them to dream up an ensemble for the 21st century. Through Twelfth Night, they are eager to position historical performance as an integral part of all performance.
