Savor a century and a half of Baroque treasures from across Europe – Live Online! Baroque music was written to move the passions, and we promise nothing less for our final concert of the season. Swoon for the lyricism of Monteverdi, get swept off your feet in dance-crazy France, and awe at the intellectual grandeur of Bach – and of course, we’ll bring you a Chandos Anthem by our namesake, Handel!
