An artist of "consummate taste and expressivity" (Cleveland Plain Dealer), guest director and oboist Debra Nagy leads a program of captivating beauty featuring Bach, Telemann, and Vivaldi. This program celebrates the fusion of the oboe d'amore and viola d'amore—an alluring sound Leopold Mozart described as "especially charming in the stillness of the evening." The ethereal tones of the oboe d'amore will enchant your senses while the rich resonance of the viola d'amore evokes profound emotion.
