Baroque Orchestra Fall Concert

Sunday, November 12 - 2017

The McIntire Department of Music is proud to present the University of Virginia Baroque Orchestra concert on Sunday, November 12th at 3:30pm in Old Cabell Hall.
The Baroque Orchestra, directed by faculty violinist David Sariti, presents dynamic, vital performances of music from the 17th and 18th centuries with the instruments and performance practices for which it was written, without a conductor.  The experience will challenge preconceived notions of music performance, and build musicianship and listening skills.  Period instruments at Baroque pitch from the University’s extensive collection are used, and students receive personal instruction on their specific techniques.

Recent guest coaches have included Grammy award-winning Quicksilver, The Vivaldi Project, University of Michigan harpsichordist Joseph Gascho, and others. This past year the guest artist was fortepianist David Breitman, director of the Historical Performance program at Oberlin College.

Tickets are $10 for the general public, $9 for UVA Faculty and Staff, $5 for students and free for UVA Students who reserve in advance. Tickets can be purchased at the Arts Box Office by calling 434.924.3376 or visiting www.artsboxoffice.virginia.edu.

Old Cabell Hall is located on the south end of UVA's historic lawn, directly opposite the Rotunda (map). Parking is available in the Central Grounds parking garage on Emmet Street, in the C1 parking lot off McCormick Rd, and in the parking lots at the UVA Corner.  Handicap parking is available in the small parking lot adjacent to Bryan Hall.
