SYNOPSIS:
Music City Baroque, led by guest director Brent Wissick, presents a concert of orchestral and vocal music by George Frideric Handel on Sunday, March 17 at 3:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 4815 Franklin Pike, Nashville. The program includes a dance suite from the opera Alcina, concerto grossos from Op. 3 and Op. 6 and the early cantata Tra le fiamme.
Music City Baroque, now in its ninth season, offers ensemble and chamber music of the 17th and 18th centuries played on period instruments, in the style the composers would have heard, with all its original color and passion. Performers are drawn from members of the Nashville Symphony and faculties of the schools of music at Vanderbilt, MTSU and Belmont.
