To cap our two-year celebration of Fasch, we introduce four composers who are new to us and maybe to you, too. We present Kusser’s theatrical overture, Party of the Muses, a tour-de-force violin concerto by Locatelli, and modern premieres of a sinfonia by Endler and a concerto grosso by Stölzel, all alongside Fasch’s rip-roaring Orchestral Suite in F. For more information on this concert, and on Tempesta, click here.

Pre-performance talk with Dr. Steven Zohn at 3pm (free with ticket purchase).

Tickets: $10-$35 ($10-students, $20-seniors, 65+, $25-regular admission, $35-preferred admission) To buy tickets, click here.
