Orchestra Ensemble Performing A.Scarlatti, Corelli, Handel
Bach Collegium San Diego (BCSD), one of the country’s leading baroque ensembles, presents “When in Rome” featuring the music of Alessandro Scarlatti, Arcangelo Corelli and G.F. Handel.
Handel's arrival in Rome in 1706 had a profound influence on his development as a composer, igniting one of the most creative periods of his career. In Rome, Handel rubbed shoulders with the greatest musicians of the age while basking in the luxuries, excesses, and patronage of the clerical aristocracy. When in Rome brings together seductive and euphoric music of this time and place.

The Baker-Baum Concert Hall is an intimate performance space with superb acoustics ideally suited for chamber music and classical recitals. In addition, its design incorporates state-of-the-art technology and adjustable acoustics, making it a world class space for amplified concerts, film, dance, theatre, lectures, and more. A wooden grillage frames the elegant curvature to the seating area creating a shape reminiscent of a European opera house. Outside this framework, lighting washes the walls in color to create a sense of space beyond.
