The Windham Philharmonic, in collaboration with Red Door Concerts of Wilmington, VT, presents music of two cornerstone figures of the Baroque: Handel and J S Bach; also, music by Mozart and Haydn, the essential composers in the Classical Style. The concert is at St. Mary’s in the Mountains on May 24 at 7 p.m. Organist Michael Pennington joins the strings to perform Mozart’s ‘Church’ Sonatas for organ and small orchestra. Also on the program are a Sonatina by Bach, from his Actus Tragicus, serene and inspiring, and three bright dance movements by Handel. The concert finishes with Haydn’s witty and thought-provoking Symphony No. 47, nicknamed the “Palindrome.”
Admission is by donation for this hour-long concert at St. Mary’s in the Mountains, located at 13 E. Main St. Wilmington. Red Door Concerts benefit area nonprofits, and the Windham Philharmonic is a very grateful recipient.
