Department of Music

The University of Virginia Department of Music is proud to present the Baroque Orchestra on Friday, November 22nd, 2024 at 8:00 pm 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. Period instruments at Baroque pitch from the University’s extensive collection are used, and students receive personal instruction on their specific techniques. Concertgoers can expect to hear music by familiar and unfamiliar composers alike, presented in a way that questions modern perceptions of music performance

The program includes works by Biagio Marini, Johann Rosenmuller, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, and Michel-Richard de Lalande.

You can access the program for the concert here.
