Celebrate with J.S. Bach’s majestic Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Vivaldi’s festive Gloria, and the premiere of Howard Frazin’s Peace Cantata.

Includes pre-concert lecture The Baroque Jam Band: Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. Find out why musicians, musicologists, and NPR consider Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos “as powerful to me as any rock ‘n’ roll song, as energizing as any techno dance music, as driving and thrilling as any punk or heavy metal” (All Things Considered).
