Our 46th season opening concert, “Baroque Brilliance”, focuses on compositions by the three great Baroque composers — Scarlatti, Handel and Bach — all by happy coincidence born in the year 1685!  Scarlatti, though best known for his over 500 keyboard sonatas, also wrote beautiful devotional choral works which recall the ethereal sound of Palestrina, but are ingeniously constructed along Baroque principles of contrapuntal writing.
