Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Showcases Masterworks from Italian Baroque Featuring Virtuosic Guitarist JIJI

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s popular Baroque Series concludes with a selection of masterworks from the Italian Baroque by Vivaldi, Scarlatti and others led by Concertmaster and Director of Chamber Music Margaret Batjer and featuring virtuosic South Korean-born guitarist JIJI on Saturday, May 4, 2024, 7:30 pm, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, and Sunday, May 5, 2024, 7:30 pm, at The Huntington’s Rothenberg Hall in San Marino.  JIJI, praised for her “mesmerizing” and “stirring” performances" (The Washington Post), is known for her command of diverse repertoire and compelling stage presence.

Principal Cello Andrew Shulman is also a featured soloist on the program that includes the Concerto No. 3 in D minor for Cello, Strings, and Basso Continuo by Leonard Leo, who was considered Domenico Scarlatti’s heir apparent, Scarlatti’s Sonata in D minor, and Charles Avison’s Concerto No. 6 in D from 12 Concertos after Scarlatti.

Additionally, LACO presents Vivaldi’s “Summer” from The Four Seasons and Vivaldi’s Concerto in D. Two contemporary works inspired by the era round out the program – Caroline Shaw’s Stucco & Brocatelle and Max Richter’s recomposed version of “Summer” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. 

 JIJI VIVALDI is made possible, in part, with the generous support from June Simon Li.

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.
