Ecstasy of the Chaconne (Cancelled)

NOTE: This event has been postponed.

First traveling from Spain to Italy along with fashionable guitarists, the chaconne with its repetitive bass line became a musical background for dancing, hypnotic and dangerous. Sacramento Baroque Soloists explore the scope of this seductive, mystical dance along with its counterparts, the passacaglia and the bergamasca.

Sacramento’s professional baroque music ensemble creates vibrant, engaging performances of music from the 17th to 19th Centuries. The group has established a reputation for quality and compelling programming. Inevitably, audience members leave these intimate concerts feeling moved and inspired. In 2019-20, the ensemble performs their 18th concert season. Repertoire includes Sonatas to concertos and sinfonias, from Corelli and Vivaldi to Bach and Charpentier. Audiences enjoy the many varied themes and historical program notes presented through the years.
