About This Performance

The holiday month of December brings the delights and surprises of our annual Baroque Festival. From the annual exploration of the wonders in the Baroque Collection on December 4 and 6, to the magnificent Brandenburg Concertos on December 13 and 15, this season's festival offers unending opportunities for musical celebration. Today's concert features the phenomenal virtuoso of the recorder Michala Petri, who performs an entire evening of works on instruments that were essential voices of the Baroque era.
