This programme brings together masterpieces by three of the era’s greatest composers – Handel\, Bach\, and Vivaldi – in a showcase of dazzling ensemble interplay and solo virtuosity. \nWe begin with Handel’s Concerto Grosso in G Major\, the radiant opening to his famed Opus 6 set. With its graceful melodies and spirited counterpoint\, this work reflects Handel’s flair for drama and lyrical invention. \nBach’s Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C minor follows – an intimate\, expressive dialogue between two contrasting voices. Thought to be a reconstruction of a lost original\, this concerto is a gem of intertwining lines and emotional depth. \nVivaldi then takes centre stage with his brilliant Concerto for Four Violins\, a tour de force of coordination and. The lively interplay among the soloists is as thrilling to watch as it is to hear. \nIn the Bassoon Concerto in E minor\, Vivaldi showcases the bassoon’s lyrical and agile qualities\, elevating this often-overlooked instrument to the spotlight with dramatic flair and wit. \nNext\, the Concerto for Two Cellos delivers dark\, resonant beauty and fiery passion in equal measure – one of Vivaldi’s most loved and powerful double concertos. \nWe close with one of Bach’s most enduring works\, the Concerto for Two Violins. Its sublime second movement is a Baroque jewel—an emotional heart-to-heart between the violins – framed by outer movements full of rhythmic drive and contrapuntal brilliance. \nPre-concert talk with Steve Clarke begins at 6.45pm. Doors open at 6.15pm for the talk and at 7.15pm for the concert only.
