Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s intimate and engaging Baroque Series – a perennial audience favorite – opens with an all-Bach program, curated and led by Concertmaster and Director of Chamber Music Margaret Batjer, featuring acclaimed bass-baritone Dashon Burton.
Burton, a two-time Grammy Award winner who delivers “the kind of top-shelf performance that has sealed his reputation as one of today’s most compelling performers” (The Boston Globe), performs Bach’s Ich Habe Genug, a reflection on gratitude and the power of perspective.
Other Baroque gems presented include Bach’s exuberant Orchestral Suite No. 1; Concerto for Flute, Violin and Harpsichord, noted for its vibrant interchange between the three solo instruments and orchestra; and Concerto for Three Violins, a technically-demanding masterwork hailed for its tremendous emotional depth.
LACO’s Baroque Series provides insight into the genesis of orchestral repertoire from early Baroque schools through the pre-Classical period.
Bach and Burton at The Huntington is presented in memory of Warner Henry with the generous support from The Henry Family. Bach and Burton is made possible, in part, with the generous support from Anne and Jeffrey Grausam, Eric W. Sigg, and Michael Mackness. LACO recognizes the generous support of the Colburn Foundation. The Orchestra also receives public funding via grants from the National Endowment for the Arts; State of California; California Arts Council; the Los Angeles County Arts Commission; and City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. LACO gratefully acknowledges Hogan Lovells US LLP for generous pro bono support. Steinway is the official piano of Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
Performances will be held on Saturday, February 3, 7:30 pm, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills (9390 N Santa Monica Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA 90210), and Sunday, February 4, 2024, 7:30 pm, at The Huntington’s Rothenberg Hall in San Marino (The Huntington, 1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, CA 91108).
