Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra: Baroque Favourites
Friday 12 July 2024
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Concertmaster Tamás András and members of the Oxford Philharmonic bring you captivating jewels from the musical baroque. From the contemplative beauty of Pachelbel’s Canon and Albinoni’s Adagio, to Vivaldi’s exuberant bassoon concerto played by OPO Solo Bassoon Bence Bogányi, to the energetic bustle of music by Vivaldi and Bach in which everyone is a soloist. Be swept away by music which is equal parts passion and precision.
