An annual tradition that began as a celebration of three Baroque superstars, Albinoni, Bach, and Corelli—the Baroque ABC—but now is expanded to include two new members. Past years saw the addition of Charles Avison (a new “A”), and this year adds Domenico Cimarosa (a new “C”), so this is the new and enhanced ABC! The program features the Maestro, both as conductor and soloist on the Bösendorfer Grand Piano, plus exhilarating single and double concertos for oboe and violin, all with Maestro’s “live notes.”
Running time: 90 minutes – no intermission
