Fioritura: “a flowering; florid ornamentation or embellishment in music”. These colorfully scored virtuoso concertos blur the lines between chamber and orchestral music, requiring each player to shift between solo and accompanimental roles. Our program combines favorites from Fioritura's debut CD with several works new to the ensemble. Works by Vivaldi, Telemann, Fasch, Boismortier,  and others.

Steven Zohn, flute; Aldo Abreu, recorder; Jennifer Roig-Francoli, violin; Geoffrey Burgess, oboe; Marc Vallon, bassoon; Christopher Haritatos, cello; Deborah Fox, theorbo; Michael Beattie, harpsichord.
