What better way to herald PBO’s 40th anniversary season than to revel in the rich combination of natural trumpet along with soprano and strings? Our program includes Handel’s youthful Gloria – rediscovered in 2001 – and concludes with Bach’s exuberant cantata, “Praise the Lord in all lands,” featuring PBO principal trumpet Kris Kwapis and soprano Arwen Myers. Nestled between lies a double violin concerto from Vivaldi’s celebrated collection, ‘’The Harmonic Inspiration.” Small wonder it inspired Bach to arrange it for the organ.

Program to include:

• George Frideric Handel | Gloria in excelsis deo
• Antonio Vivaldi | Concerto for Two Violins in A Minor, Opus 3,
  No. 8, from L’estro armonico
• Johann Sebastian Bach | Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen

**Pre-concert lecture at 2pm in PAB 320
