The Vilas Baroque Orchestra is a newly formed ensemble that showcases the upcoming generation of early music talent emerging from New York City. Our aim is to bring vibrant performances, inventive programming, and improvisation on period instruments to diverse audiences. We foster a collaborative chamber music approach to orchestral playing. We hope you can join us for our 2011-2012 season!
Upcoming Concerts
With soloists Brett Umlauf (soprano), Stephanie Corwin (bassoon), and Benjamin Wolff (cello)
Arcangelo Corelli and Antonio Vivaldi were masterful composers of the concerto, combining strict form and harmony with wild fantasy and imagination. Vilas Baroque rings the winter season with a festive program of Italian Baroque music, featuring Corelli’s beloved Christmas Concerto and two of Vivaldi’s concertos for baroque bassoon and baroque cello.
