The Pacific Baroque Orchestra will bring a program entitled A Little Night Music. The title work is Mozart’s beloved Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. The theme of night music will be explored further in the works of Baroque composers such as Henry Purcell and Luigi Boccherini.
The Pacific Baroque Orchestra is recognized as one of Canada’s most exciting and innovative ensembles. They have joined forces with Early Music Vancouver to present large-scale productions. The orchestra regularly collaborates with internationally celebrated guest artists such as soprano Amanda Forsythe, who performed a memorable program of Handel arias in this series in 2016.
