Marc Minkowski, one of the world’s leading interpreters of Baroque and classical music, makes his Chicago debut for Music of the Baroque Jan. 25. This renowned French conductor will debut with music by three orchestral gods—Handel, Rameau, and Mozart.
Handel’s concerto grosso was originally the overture to a lost “magic opera.” The Greek god Apollo saves the day in Rameau’s Suite from Les Boréades. And the sheer power of Mozart’s Symphony No. 41—his final orchestral work—prompted the connection to Jupiter, the Roman god of the sky.
Concerts will take place on Sat., Jan. 25, 7:30 pm at the Harris Theatre; Sun., Jan. 26, 3 pm at North Shore Center, Skokie. On Friday, Jan. 31 at 5 pm, you can watch the performance On Demand.
