**_Music @ The Wallis is generously made possible by Terri and Jerry Kohl._** This program explores the Baroque era’s power to ignite the senses and stir the imagination. Soprano **Amanda Forsythe** brings expressive nuance to **Handel**’s arias and **Bach**’s glowing “Wedding Cantata”. Director of Chamber Music **Margaret Batjer** leads the ensemble through **Vivaldi**’s shadowy La Notte and **Biber**’s Battalia—a theatrical experiment where clashing keys and rhythms evoke chaos and conflict. **Telemann**’s _Don Quixote_ closes the concert, turning Cervantes’s wandering knight into a series of sharply drawn musical vignettes. **LOS ANGELES CHAMBER ORCHESTRA** Margaret Batjer, DIRECTOR OF CHAMBER MUSIC + LEADER Amanda Forsythe, SOPRANO **PROGRAM **Johann Sebastian Bach, _Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten_ “Wedding Cantata,” BWV 202 Antonio Vivaldi, Concerto No. 2 in G minor, “La Notte” Antonio Vivaldi, Concerto Grosso in G minor, No. 2, RB 578 George Frideric Handel, Selections from _Giulio Cesare in Egitto_ Heinrich Biber, _Battalia_ à 10 Georg Philipp Telemann, _Don Quixote_ * * * Read safety information [here](https://thewallis.org/safety).
