baroque conversations
Explore the genesis of orchestral music through intimate performances with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
In signature LACO style, the artists will introduce the music from the stage, share their insights, and invite your questions to conclude the evening.
Performed without intermission, the concerts begin at 7 pm and end at approximately 8:45 pm, including the conversation between the musicians and audience.
Learn more about LACO’s 2011-12 season.
“Our city has had very little exposure to Baroque music, and I can think of no other ensemble better suited for a world-class series of this kind of music than the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, complemented by the intimacy and exquisite acoustics of Zipper Concert Hall at the Colburn School of Music.” – Warner Henry
