Concertmaster Rachell Ellen Wong will lead a SBO quartet through a thrilling face-off between Porpora, the rising opera star, and the fiery young Handel; a fierce power struggle between master violinists Leclair and Guignon in the opulent halls of the Paris royal court; and an epic clash between two groundbreaking Venetian stars, Vivaldi and Albinoni. Prepare to be swept away by the passion, talent, and ambition of these legendary musical giants as they battle for supremacy and leave their mark on the world of classical music.
