Join us for the season opener when we present sensational music by Italian Baroque composers, each piece full of verve, élan, and flair! Our legendary soprano, Mary Wilson, will perform Vivaldi's " Laudate pueri Dominum ," a major work in ten movements composed for a virtuoso Venetian singer. Two spirited instrumental works by Domenico Scarlatti and a bravura concerto for two cellos add more panache to the program. And there are off-the-beaten-path discoveries in store, too! Albinoni's elegant Sinfonia and Caldara's lilting Chaconne bring moments of serenity. And the grandeur of Corelli's Concerto Grosso in D Major completes the program with its focus on a quartet of soloists supported by the full ensemble. We think you'll love starting our Discovery Series with this jubilant concert!

Enjoy a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the holidays as the musicians of American Bach present “A Baroque Christmas.” Baroque composers wrote exquisitely beautiful music for the Christmas season. From the sweet, restful simplicity of Vivaldi’s concerto “for Holy Christmas” to the pastoral elegance of the Concerto for Two Recorders by Bavarian composer Johann Christoph Pez, dulcet sounds will grace your ears in this unique program, specially curated by American Bach artistic director Jeffrey Thomas. Torelli’s mysterious Concerto in G Minor and Corrette’s charming symphonies of French noels will lead the concert to its celebratory ending when soprano Hélène Brunet, possessing “a voice of perfect beauty,” will perform Handel’s Gloria , a glistening work for solo voice that was discovered only 25 years ago!
