Epilogues and Epitaphs

June 24, 25, & 26, 2019; 7:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.

Most people wouldn’t equate “historically-informed Baroque chamber music” with “soul-blasting, face-melting hot sauce fire”... at least not until they hear Augusta McKay Lodge.

George Frederic Handel: Waft her angels through the skies, Jephtha

Arcangelo Corelli: Trio Sonata in D Major op. 3 no. 2

Antonio Vivaldi: La Folia

Henry Purcell: Evening Hymn

Performers:

Augusta McKay Lodge, violin
