Soloists from the Festival Orchestra will bring out the southern sun to banish the northern fog through the influence of Italian Baroque composers. Come for J.C. (“The London”) Bach’s Sinfonia Concertante for violin and cello, and concerti grossi by Corelli, Geminiani (arranging Corelli) and Avison (arranging Scarlatti), and stay for Handel’s delightful chamber organ concerto “The Cuckoo and the Nightingale” and more—performed by the Festival Orchestra led by Elizabeth Blumenstock.

The witty, bold, and irresistibly theatrical world of the English Baroque comes to life in a program introducing conducting sensation David Bates. Dance and drama abound in boundary-breaking music by Henry Purcell, Matthew Locke, and John Blow. Symphonies by William Boyce and Charles Avison plus music from Handel’s charming Il pastor fido complete this delightful romp through 17th- and 18th-century England.
