What a Century! Bach Handel Vivaldi
Church of Saint Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church
552 West End Avenue
between 86th & 87th St., NYC
Three of the greatest composers to ever live are featured in this magnificent concert. It delicately begins with a Bach flute work and ends with a bold Bach concerto; it is grounded by beautiful Handel arias and a Vivaldi harpsichord concerto. This concert has it all and it features works by some of the greatest composers ever.
