PERFORMANCES
THE ITALIAN BAROQUE
Erin Helyard teams up with ACO Collective
to explore the theatricality and passion of neglected
masterpieces by some of the greatest and most influential
composers of the Italian baroque. Alongside these gems,
the program includes the world premiere of Paul Stanhope’s
Giving Ground, a work which provides a modern reflection
of Geminiani’s popular and virtuosic La Follia.
