WAKE FOREST, N.C. (PRWEB) April 20, 2016 -- TheClassicalStation.org announces today a “Back to Baroque” Weekend, April 23-24, 2016. Music Director William Woltz programs a weekend which highlights the language of music that came to be defined as the music we know today.
“From the playful Italian concertos of Vivaldi to the complex German fugues of Bach, the Baroque era presents a rich and varied musical landscape,” offers Woltz. “But there is so much more: Handel and Telemann; Vivaldi, Purcell and Buxtehude.”
