Join us for an enchanting evening with the La Jolla Music Society as we present "Baroque Fantasia" on Friday, August 2, 2024, at 7:30 PM in the prestigious Baker-Baum Concert Hall. This unique concert is a celebration of the Baroque era, showcasing its most imaginative and whimsical works that have captivated audiences for centuries.

"Baroque Fantasia" features a carefully curated selection of compositions that embody the essence of storytelling through music. The program includes Telemann's "Don Quixote Suite" and Purcell's excerpts from "The Fairy Queen," both of which are masterpieces of the Baroque repertoire. Additionally, the concert will feature Vivaldi's haunting "Flute Concerto in G Minor, RV 439 La Notte" and Rebel's dynamic "Les Éléments," providing a diverse and immersive musical experience.

The evening will be brought to life by an ensemble of exceptionally talented musicians, including Tessa Lark, Njioma Grevious, and Alexi Kenney on violin, Nicole Divall and James Kang on violas, Jonathan Swensen and Brian Gadbow on cellos, and Anthony Manzo on bass. The harpsichord, an instrument synonymous with the Baroque era, will be masterfully played by Jonathan Cohen, adding an authentic touch to the performance.

"Baroque Fantasia" promises to be a memorable journey through the whimsy and imagination of the Baroque era, capturing the timeless beauty and complexity of its music. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the magic of Baroque music performed by some of the most talented musicians of our time.

Baroque Fantasia

This concert unites the poignant Mendelssohn siblings’ works—Fanny’s unduly neglected remarkable work and Felix’s stirring String Quartet, a reaction to her early passing—with compositions by artists silenced or oppressed during WWII. It embodies the spirit of perseverance and the unbreakable will of the human spirit through music.
