This event has passed.

North Star Baroque’s second concert of the season will feature Bach’s beloved Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 and a Vivaldi concerto for sopranino recorder with Venezuelan recorder virtuoso Aldo Abreu. The Brandenburg is a triple concerto for flute, violin and harpsichord soloists, with a famous harpsichord cadenza that was no doubt played by Bach himself. The Vivaldi has a very high solo part for which modern orchestras often use a piccolo, but our performance will feature Vivaldi’s original instrument, a sopranino recorder. Also on the program will be sparkling works by Purcell and Handel.

PROGRAM:
Bach, Brandenburg Concerto #5
Vivaldi, Concerto in A minor for sopranino recorder
featuring Venezuelan recorder virtuoso, Aldo Abreu
Handel, Concerto grosso in A Major, Op. 6, No. 11
Purcell, Fantazia: Three Parts on a Ground
