Music to Celebrate

Overview

Salut! Baroque performs a concert of Baroque music, including works by Vivaldi, Telemann and Locatelli.

A feast of glorious music launches its 30th anniversary year, with compositions spanning 400 years. Creativity flowered in the Baroque period as concerts moved away from the church and court into the public realm. Music became more accessible, creating an independent market for enterprising composers, performers, publishers and promoters alike. The program will include some of The Four Seasons by Giovanni Guido, written around eight years before Vivaldi’s most famous composition, and Jan Rokyta’s enchanting Balkanology, inspired by traditional Romanian and Turkish music with its complex rhythms and harmonies.
