We showcase principals from the Two Rivers Chamber Orchestra in this feast of sonic variety, though all composed by perhaps the most consummate composer in western music. We are delighted to introduce to our stage the harpsichordist Mark Janello. These concerti grosso (for several instruments), intercut with short solo works, sparkle with joy, grace, verve, and an incredible balance of simplicity and intricacy.
