      The program opens with Concerto in A Major for Harpsichord and Strings by Seixas, a preeminent 18th century composer and harpsichord virtuoso, and also includes Vivaldi’s popular Oboe Concerto in F Major, Pergolesi’s lyrical Violin Concerto in B-flat Major, Haydn’s virtuosic String Quartet Op. 1 No. 1, and Telemann’s Concerto in A minor for Violin, Flute, Oboe and Continuo. LACO artists featured are Tereza Stanislav, violin; Jason Issokson, violin; Catherine Baker, flute; Claire Brazeau, oboe; and Patricia Mabee, harpsichord.

      An enthusiastic advocate for the arts and particularly passionate about Baroque music, Warner Henry (1938 – 2020) was an inaugural board member of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. He and his wife, Carol, were generous donors to LACO for more than four decades, giving more than $3 million in support. Additionally, Warner and Carol were instrumental in the formation of the Los Angeles Opera and underwrote several LA Opera productions.
