Plus Fours! Handel, Telemann, Locatelli, Vivaldi at Music of the Baroque

Baroque invention, contrast, and brilliance is on display as Music of the Baroque's principal guest conductor, Nicholas Kraemer, leads works by four great Baroque composers for groups of four (and more!) musicians. Vivaldis propulsive Concerto for 4 violins and orchestra is set against Telemanns work for 4 violins alone, while Locatelli throws violas into the mix. Two grand concertos for orchestra by Handel merge dramatic fervor with compositional prowess.HANDEL | Concerto grosso in F Major, op. 3, no. 4bTELEMANN | Concerto for 4 violins in A Major, TWV 40:204LOCATELLI | Concerto grosso for 4 violins, 2 violas and continuo, op. 7, no. 12HANDEL | Concerto grosso in F Major, op. 6, no. 2, HWV 320VIVALDI | Concerto for 4 violins in B Minor, op. 3, no. 10, RV 580SUNDAY May 9, 2021 7:30 PM CDTStreamed live from North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie9501 Skokie BlvdMusic of the Baroque OrchestraNicholas Kraemer, conductor
