Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra's intimate and engaging Baroque Series opens with an all-Bach program, curated and led by Concertmaster and Director of Chamber Music Margaret Batjer, featuring acclaimed bass-baritone Dashon Burton, on Saturday, February 3, 7:30 pm, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, and Sunday, February 4, 2024, 7:30 pm, at The Huntington's Rothenberg Hall in San Marino. Burton, a two-time Grammy Award winner who delivers “the kind of top-shelf performance that has sealed his reputation as one of today's most compelling performers” (The Boston Globe), performs Bach's Ich Habe Genug, a reflection on gratitude and the power of perspective.
Other Baroque gems presented include Bach's exuberant Orchestral Suite No. 1; Concerto for Flute, Violin and Harpsichord, noted for its vibrant interchange between the three solo instruments and orchestra; and Concerto for Three Violins, a technically-demanding masterwork hailed for its tremendous emotional depth.
LACO's Baroque Series provides insight into the genesis of orchestral repertoire from early Baroque schools through the pre-Classical period.
