Music of the Baroque

  • Harris theater 205 East Randolph Street Chicago, IL, 60601 United States (map)

Renowned French conductor Marc Minkowski makes his Music of the Baroque debut with music by three orchestral gods—Handel, Rameau, and Mozart. Handel’s concerto grosso was originally the overture to a lost “magic opera.” The Greek god Apollo saves the day in Rameau’s Suite from Les Boréades. And the sheer power of Mozart’s Symphony No. 41—his final orchestral work—prompted the connection to Jupiter, the Roman god of the sky.
