Moving from the COVID
experience, The Baroque Orchestra of New Jersey has been happy to offer
free summer festival concerts.
We hope you'll join us
for our 2023 Summer Festival Finale featuring music of our
Maestro Robert W. Butts and works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
Antonio Vivaldi, and others.
We are happy to
celebrate summer with you with these concerts.
If you have
enjoyed these, we hope you will be able to contribute so we can continue to share
summer with music.
Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart composed his first symphony in 1764 - which means he
was but 8 years old at at the time. While that alone is wondrous, what
is even more amazing is that the music is so wonderful and perfect for
a summer afternoon!
Mozart composed the work
while the family was in London, where he met and was highly influenced
by Johann Christian Bach, one of Johann Sebastian's highly talented
composer sons. To celebrate Mozart's friendship with Johann Christian
Bach, we will play the allegro movement of
Bach's Quintet in D.
Antonio Vivaldi remains
one of the most popular of Baroque composers. We will perform his
exciting Concerto in D minor.
Last November, we
premiered The Amiable Consort, composed by Maestro Butts on
commission. The work has received acclaimed notice and has been
featured on radio broadcasts. This will be the first complete
performance since that premiere.
The performance on
August 20 is Free Admission.
