Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s popular Baroque Series concludes with a selection of masterworks from the Italian Baroque by Vivaldi, Scarlatti and others led by Concertmaster and Director of Chamber Music Margaret Batjer and featuring virtuosic South Korean-born guitarist JIJI at The Huntington’s Rothenberg Hall in San Marino. JIJI, praised for her “mesmerizing” and “stirring” performances" (The Washington Post), is known for her command of diverse repertoire and compelling stage presence. Principal Cello Andrew Shulman is also a featured soloist on the program that includes the Concerto No. 3 in D minor for Cello, Strings, and Basso Continuo by Leonard Leo, who was considered Domenico Scarlatti’s heir apparent, Scarlatti’s Sonata in D minor, and Charles Avison/Domenico Scarlatti’s Concerto Grosso No. 6 in D major. Additionally, LACO presents Vivaldi’s “Summer” from The Four Seasons and Vivaldi’s Concerto in D minor. Two contemporary works inspired by the era round out the program - Caroline Shaw’s Stucco & Brocatelle and Max Richter’s recomposed version of “Summer” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
