$EXPRESS CONCERT: Bach\u2019s Second Orchestral Suite$

This one-hour concert bubbles with life, from sparkling flutes to spirited strings. Featuring music that dances and delights, the program highlights the lively energy of Baroque music, including the virtuosic influences of Italian contemporaries like Scarlatti, Geminiani and Corelli on the development of Bach. With a playful energy akin to a flute concerto, Bach’s second orchestral suite, one of the musical throughlines of our 2025.26 season is paired with Geminiani’s violin sonata. Originally written for violin and harpsichord, this program features a new, captivating arrangement by SPCO Concertmaster Steven Copes. Whether you're new to Baroque music or a longtime fan, this program offers an invigorating dose of beauty, motion and joy.
