Baroque Heroes at Harris Theater for Music and Dance

Guest conductor Patrick Dupr Quigley explores the concept of hero in an energetic, whimsical program. The soloist is the hero of C. P. E. Bachs Cello Concerto. From the ridiculous to the sublime, Telemann and Rameau offer rich musical depictions of literary heroes. J. S. Bach was his sons heroas C. P. E. wrote in his fathers obituary, Our Bach was the greatest organist and clavier player that we have ever had. And dance music composers from earlier generations are the great heroes of Baroque orchestral music.
