The New York City season kicks off on Saturday, September 9, 2023, at 5PM with The Five Concerti, a dazzling display of works for solo instruments and orchestra, featuring Bach’s Brandenburg Concerti 3, 5, and 6, Vivaldi’s Concerto for two cellos in G minor, and Handel’s Concerto grosso, op. 3, no. 3. These expansive and virtuosic works by three titans of the baroque embody the grandeur of 18th century courtly music. With soaring solos for cello, harpsichord, violin, flute, and more, the showy and fun program highlights the full capabilities of almost every instrument that comprises the ensemble. Soloists include Ezra Seltzer and Sarah Stone (cello), Jessica Troy and Kyle Miller (violas), David Ross (flute), and Beth Wenstrom (violin), with Artistic Director Jeffrey Grossman at the harpsichord.
