Sat Jan 17, 2:30pm | Metropolitan Opera star soprano Mireille Asselin and acclaimed baritone Jesse Blumberg lead Victoria Baroque on a tour through great love stories of ancient mythology brought to life by the music of Handel, Purcell, and Rameau, with exciting, newly-commissioned Canadian compositions.
Founded in 2011 by Finnish-born baroque flutist Soile Stratkauskas, Victoria Baroque brings together early music specialists from Vancouver Island and beyond to deliver vibrant, historically- informed performances of Baroque and Classical music on period instruments, often featuring acclaimed guest soloists and directors. Known for their intimate, engaging sound and rich collaborations—including with the St John’s Chamber Singers—Victoria Baroque also champions emerging talent through education programs and youth partnerships. Their debut CD nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award.
