This holiday season, join musicians of OSL for a festive evening with two giants of the Baroque Italian concerto, Arcangelo Corelli and Antonio Vivaldi. Both composers shaped the concerto in distinct ways—Corelli through the concerto grosso, emphasizing interplay between soloists and ensemble, and Vivaldi through the rise of the virtuosic solo concerto that would dominate the 18th century.
