The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

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.

Inspired by the sensations of dusk and dawn, this cinematic program moves from shimmering starlight to the warmth of sunrise —and the dreams in between— revealing the impressionistic beauty and sensuality of Baroque music in a whole new light.

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