Vivaldi wrote over 500 concertos. We will explore some of these amazing compositions with course members taking solo parts if they wish. Harpsichordist Ann Bond will enhance the Baroque experience.

2013 was the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Britten. We will play the haunting “Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings”, one of his most popular works. A romantic bon-bon, “Serenade” by Polish composer Karlovich, will complete our weekend.
