Orchestra offers romantic selections for Valentine’s Day Jaroussky, born in France in 1978, has already established himself as one of the major singers in the international musical world. He has worked with some of the best Baroque orchestras and has been praised in all of the most prestigious concert halls and theaters in France. Under the baton of Andrea Marcon, the selections will come to life, providing a perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the one you love. The program includes works by Porpora, Leo and Cimarosa, leading composers of the 18th century Neapolitan and Baroque periods.
The Venice Baroque Orchestra will set just the right mood for Valentine’s Day when it performs selections from romantic, Neapolitan operas on Friday, Feb. 14, at Johnson County Community College.

Laird’s talk is free and open to the public.
The orchestra was founded in 1997 by Marcon, a Baroque scholar and harpsichordist. It is recognized as one of the premier ensembles devoted to period instrument performance. The orchestra has received wide critical acclaim for its concert and opera performances throughout North America, Europe, South America, Japan and Korea.
This concert is co-presented with the Friends of Chamber Music-Kansas City. Tickets $40, $30 Preshow dinner $30/person (Paid reservations are required by noon Wednesday, Feb. 12.)
