Dubbed "A George Frideric Handel Celebration," the event will feature excerpts from Handel's Samson, Theodora, Semele and Giulio Cesare, among other works.

Orliński will perform alongside American soprano Erin Morley.

The concert, to be held at Carnegie Hall on December 15, will conclude with an audience singalong of the "Hallelujah" chorus from Handel's Messiah.

MasterVoices will be conducted by its artistic director Ted Sperling.

The 2026/2027 season marks the ensemble's 85th anniversary. In its early decades, the group performed and recorded with conductors such as Serge Koussevitzky, Arturo Toscanini and Leonard Bernstein.

Earlier this month, Orliński was nominated for a 2026 Opus Klassik award in the Male Singer of the Year category for his latest album, If Music..., featuring works by Baroque composers.

The album also earned a nomination in the Solo Vocal Recording of the Year category.
