Suoni Belli: Instrumental Wonders of the Italian Baroque October 15, 2011

Take a journey into the Italian Baroque with a concert of grand instrumental works from the heart of Italy: rarely heard masterpieces of Albinoni, Dall'Abaco and Alessandro Scarlatti, a virtuosic trumpet sonata by Torelli and two works by Vivaldi. Risa Browder, who has performed with many of Europe's greatest early music ensembles including London Baroque and Academy of Ancient Music, and who is well known to Washington audiences for her performances with Folger Consort and Modern Musick, joins Sinfonia to lead this exhilarating conductor-less program.
