Heavenly Baroque music awaits you in this concert that celebrates the European Baroque; featuring Vivaldi’s “Gloria” RV 589, his most familiar and popular piece of sacred music and the extraordinary “Missa Dei Patris” by Zelenka, often called the “Catholic Bach”.

Zelenka was a Bohemian composer at the Royal Saxon Court in Dresden and contemporary of J.S. Bach who highly regarded his music.

This vibrant mass for strings and oboes showcases Zelenka’s craftsmanship, on par with the great Bach but in his very own idiosyncratic, invigorating and emotionally intense style.
