Details
Experience the shifting moods of night and day through the rich textures of French Baroque music. PBO principal bassoonist Nate Helgeson curates an evocative program featuring two violas da gamba, two bassoons, harpsichord, and theorbo.

Join us one hour before the performance for a pre-concert talk about the program.
