Description

Members of the North Carolina Baroque Orchestra join St. Paul's Senior Choir to present Johann Sebastian Bach's Advent cantata BWV 61 "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland," and George Frideric Handel's Messiah: Part I. The North Carolina Baroque Orchestra (NCBO), a period instrument ensemble, was co-founded in 2011 by sisters and musical collaborators Frances Blaker and Barbara Blaker Krumdieck for the purpose of providing orchestral and chamber music opportunities for musicians specializing in baroque performance practice. The ensemble maintains a goal of presenting refined, stylistic, artistic and fun performances, engaging both the players and the listeners in the stories and historical context behind the music.
