Showing off, Baroque-style
The baroque period was one of fascinating innovation: where new musical forms like the solo concerto exploded onto the scene – giving us works like Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Now, experience musical fireworks with our soloists in three exciting works – a treat for baroque lovers. Each work will be performed on period (rather than modern) instruments – allowing you the chance to hear the actual sounds the great composers would have had in their heads while creating these works.
This concert is made possible in part by the Houston Endowment, the Brown Foundation, the Cullen Trust for the Performing Arts, the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance, and by supporters like you.
