This past Sunday afternoon the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra, led by its concertmaster and artistic director Julie Andrijeski, performed a concert of music by Locke, Corelli, Lully, Desmarets, Handel, Eccles, Clarke, Purcell and Finger at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Roswell.
It was the group’s second performance of the all-Baroque program that weekend, the first having taken place the previous night at First Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. The orchestra is the oldest local ensemble that performs such “early music,” utilizing period instruments and “historically informed” performance practice.
