Chicago Classical Music

Baroque instrumental music is dazzlingly dramatic—in both conception and performance. Virtuoso violinist Elizabeth Wallfisch stars in an evening of theater without words as she leads the Music of the Baroque Orchestra in works by Antonio Vivaldi, J. S. Bach and other early masters. From a vivid portrait of a great storm, to an abandoned lover's grief, to the descent into madness, this evening of fiery, passionate, thrilling music will keep you on the edge of your seat.
