The most compelling interpreters of Baroque music take the Benaroya Hall stage to play and conduct in the popular Baroque & Wine Series! For this first program, acclaimed harpsichordist Jory Vinikour explores the masters of the Baroque era, beginning with selections from two masterpieces for the operatic stage. Then it’s on to J.S. Bach with two showy works for harpsichord and solo instruments — his first Keyboard Concerto and the irrepressible Fifth Brandenburg Concerto.

Note: pre-concert wine tastings will not be held at the October 22 & 23 performances in the Baroque & Wine Series.

The concert will take place at 8pm.

Season subscription packages are now available. Individual ticket prices TBD.
