The University of Virginia Department of Music presents The Baroque Orchestra on Friday, November 21st at 8pm 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 challenges preconceived notions of music performance.  Students perform on period instruments at Baroque pitch from the University’s extensive collection.

Every year a distinguished Weber Endowment Guest Artist works with the group, presenting a public masterclass and concert. Recent guests have included Grammy Award-winning Quicksilver, Rebel Baroque, fortepianist David Breitman, The Vivaldi Project, and others.

Tickets are $10 General Admission / $9 UVA Faculty & Staff / $5 students / Free for UVA Students who reserve in advance. Tickets are available at the Arts Box Office by visiting artsboxoffice.virginia.edu, calling (434) 924-3376 or at Old Cabell Hall one hour prior to the performance.
