Event Description:
Sparkling, exuberant and breathtakingly virtuosic: Vivaldi and his fellow Baroque composers set a new standard for musical brilliance that lasts to this day. And nobody brings these showpieces alive like the period instrument virtuosi of Boston’s renowned H+H, expert in revealing the music’s original freshness and vitality — just as the composers intended. Join the H+H all-stars in their debut performance at Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, for a night with the rock stars of the Baroque. Featuring H+H musicians, led by concertmaster Aisslinn Nosky. Find out why the Strad says, “H+H presented some of the liveliest, most characterful and engaging period-playing I’ve heard.” Program: Avison: Concerto Grosso No. 5 in D Minor (after Scarlatti) Vivaldi: Violin Concerto in A minor, RV 356 Geminiani: Concerto Grosso after Corelli, Op. 5, No. 5 in G Minor Corelli: Concerto Grosso in B-flat Major, Op. 6, No. 11 Handel: Concerto Grosso in F Major, Op. 6, No. 9 Geminiani: Concerto Grosso in D Minor, La Follia (after Corelli Op. 5 No. 12)
