Nicola Benedetti and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

Violin superstar Nicola Benedetti leads a high-energy evening of baroque music by Vivaldi, Handel, Bach, and little-known English composer Charles Avison. If three double violin concertos were not enough, there is also a double oboe concerto! Join presenter Danielle de Niese and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, led by Jonathan Cohen, for what promises to be an evening of musical exuberance.
