A concert to lift your spirits and fire up your imagination!


This program will enchant you with storytelling in narrative chamber works by three Baroque masters. Antonio Vivaldi tantalizes and surprises with a haunted soundscape in his Night Concerto for flute and strings. François Couperin’s Apotheosis of Corelli is his self-invented mythological tale of the ascension of his musical idol Corelli to the top of Mount Parnassus. The work is a trio sonata for violins and continuo with narration (read in English) preceding each movement. Also featured is Bach's Capriccio on the Departure of a Beloved Brother. The concert closes with Part I of Francesco Geminiani’s rarely-performed epic composition The Enchanted Forest. This work for chamber orchestra in the form of a concerto grosso depicts the defense of a dark, wooded forest by a sorcerer and witches.
