"A festival of concertos for one, two, and three"
Opening the 26/27 Season is a Festival of Baroque Concertos for violin, bassoon, two oboes, and three harpsichords. These concertos feature some of the most well-known pieces from the Baroque era, like Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, and the leaser known gems, like Bach’s concerto for three harpsichords (Yes, 3!).
La Grande Bande is joined by a dynamic group of artists who are both making their debuts and making their return on this program. We’re delighted to welcome back violinist Rafa Prendergast, oboist Curtis Foster, bassoonist Allen Hamrick, harpsichordist Paul Boehnke as soloists, and eager to debut violinist Francis Liu and harpsichordist Kimberly Kang as soloists on this program. They will all be joined by La Grande Bande’s rockstar cast of players.
