Butte Baroque: A Classical Tapestry

Adding to the classical scene, Chico will host the Butte Baroque ensemble on March 16 at 1 p.m. Under the skilled direction of Jeffrey Cooper, the ensemble will present a splendid lineup of music from the 17th and 18th centuries. The spring concert will showcase the sounds of harpsichord, pipe organ, oboe, and strings with notable works from iconic Baroque composers such as Bach and Vivaldi, alongside a contemporary piece by Walter Piston. Cooper, a product of Chico State and further educated at Notre Dame and the University of Houston, brings his expertise and excitement to the fore as the ensemble performs an engaging mix of classic and neo-Baroque pieces.
