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.
