What an incredible evening of music for lovers of the violin!
Chouchane Siranossian, who ranks among the world’s greatest violin virtuosos, takes the stage with one of the premier early music ensembles for a program of compositions by four acclaimed Italian violinist-composers of the Baroque era. Since their founding in 1997 by renowned harpsichordist and Baroque scholar Andrea Marcon, the Venice Baroque Orchestra has toured the globe, rediscovering and promoting masterpieces from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Siranossian has appeared as a soloist with prestigious orchestras around the world. Siranossian’s mastery of her instrument brilliantly brings to life the passionate works on this program.
