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 as three 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.
