Flutist

Baroque trailblazers Antonio Vivaldi and J. S. Bach launch this journey through the world of 18th-century orchestral music. Concertmaster Gina DiBello shines in one of Vivaldi’s most intriguing dark-hued concertos, balanced by the buoyant, dance-driven elegance of Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 1. Telemann’s cosmopolitan brilliance and the bold innovation of his godson, C. P. E. Bach, lead seamlessly to Joseph Haydn’s impassioned Symphony No. 80.

Harris Theater

The animal kingdom comes alive through charming works for orchestra under the direction of Principal Guest Conductor Nicholas Kraemer. Dogs bark in Vivaldi’s “Spring” Concerto from the famous Four Seasons. Crickets chirp in Telemann’s unusually scored Cricket Symphony, while frogs ribbit in his virtuosic concerto for violin. Delight in the “clucking” and “scratching” in Haydn’s Hen Symphony, which closes the program on a wonderfully humorous note.
