Marin Baroque, an emerging professional chamber choir and period instrument orchestra led by Music Director Daniel Canosa, is pleased to announce its 2015–16 season. Our fall concert, November 21, will include both choral and instrumental works of George Frideric Handel. For Valentine’s day (concert date is February 13, 2016) we present an evening of “Love and Sax,” featuring a special performance by Premiere Saxophone Quartet of jazz and baroque music. On March 12, we will present cantatas from Dietrich Buxtehude’s hauntingly beautiful Membra Jesu Nostri, BuxWV 75, and the well-known and exquisite Christ lag in Todesbanden, BWV 4, by J.S. Bach. Stay tuned for June! We are planning something new!
Our season opener on Saturday, November 21, is titled “And all in Friendly Consort Meet….” The program includes the Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne, HWV 74, and the Utrecht Jubilate, HWV 279, both works composed by Handel around the time of the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht, one of the most important peace agreements in history. The celebratory theme of peace calls to us during a period of turmoil and travail in our own time. Join us for this celebration of peace.
This concert and all of the season’s other concerts will take place at First Presbyterian Church San Anselmo, 72 Kensington Rd, in San Anselmo, starting at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets or at the door.
