The Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar, invites you to immerse yourself in the powerful impact of harmonic expression with this year’s Festival theme, Bright Cecilia: The Power of Harmony. Through programs expertly curated and led by artistic director-violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock—and inspired by the patron saint of music, Saint Cecilia—featured soloists and the Festival Orchestra and Chorus bring the community professional, historically-informed interpretations in five concerts over eight days on the beautiful Southern California riviera.
