Following the tradition of the Musicians’ Choice Chamber Music Series, oral program notes will be given by the musicians, interspersed throughout the performance. The short format program is presented in an intimate, relaxed setting without intermission.

Janus

171 Cedar Arts Center

Step into the grandeur of the Baroque era in Legacy Hall with a thrilling musical showdown between Italy’s fiery virtuosity and England’s stately elegance. The South blazes with the dazzling brilliance of Vivaldi, Corelli, and Torelli, their music overflowing with passion and intricate ornamentation. The North counters with the regal splendor of Handel’s Water Music, featuring majestic horns and sweeping melodies that evoke the power of England’s royal courts. Between the musical duels, enjoy an extended intermission with a delightful reception, where the echoes of Baroque opulence linger in the air.
