The Austin Baroque Orchestra & Chorus will present a five-concert series in 2014-15 comprised of two centuries' worth of works for orchestra and chorus. From concerti to chanzonetas, suites to motets, and a full oratorio, there will be something for every early music lover! In addition to our home venue of First Presbyterian Church in Austin, we'll also be appearing at St. John's Lutheran Church and Mission Concepción, both in San Antonio.
Concert 1: August 23 & 24, 2014 - "Water Works": Music inspired by water, including works of Telemann, Vivaldi, and Marais, along with Handel's popular and noble Water-Musick.
Concert 2: October 4 & 5, 2014 - "Youthful Indiscretions": Classic-era music written by composers who died young, including Mozart, Pergolesi, Mendelssohn & Schubert. Featuring Concertmaster Edmond Chan on Mozart's Violin Concerto in G major.
Concert 3: November 15 & 16, 2014 - "España Vieja, Nueva España": 16th-, 17th-, and 18th-century music from Spanish and Mexican cathedrals, for voices and instruments, including several Texas premieres.
Concert 4: March 14 & 15, 2015 - "A Cantata By Any Other Name...": One true cantata (by J.S. Bach), and other cantata-like works by Galuppi, Jerúsalem, Buxtehude, and featuring Charpentier's regal Te Deum in D major.
Concert 5: May 23 & 24, 2015 - Handel's "Esther": A full performance of Handel's first oratorio, whose plot chronicles a Jewish-born Persian queen's plot to save her people from a bloody fate.
