Martin Haselbck may not be a name that you know, but you should want to: founder of the Vienna Academy Ensemble, acclaimed conductor and organist, Baroque specialist and prolific recording artist with over sixty records to his name, he has done it all and continues to excel in his field. He leads and performs in a quintessential Bach & Beyond concert.
Wonderful violinist and Baroque conductor Elizabeth Wallfisch leads from the violin in a program that includes Bachs deliciously beautiful Concerto for Oboe damore with VSO Principal Oboist Roger Cole taking a solo turn and Vivaldis timeless classic The Four Seasons, which has stayed on the top of the charts for over two hundred and eighty years.
Mozart and Haydn: Musical perfection. Haydn took hold of the torch passed to him by Bach and the great composers of the Baroque era and kept the flame ablaze; Mozart took that torch and turned it into a bonfire. Great young Canadian conductor Jean-Marie Zeitouni will present their music with the style and grace it deserves.

Maestro Tovey conducts a concert that features Baroque and Classical music with an exciting twist. Bachs Orchestral Suites are some of the pinnacle achievements of the Baroque era.
