Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra to feature Baroque favorites in 'Trumpet Glory' Jan. 27

Enjoy an afternoon of glorious music when the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of music director and conductor Stephen Alltop, continues its 2018-19 season with a concert of dazzling Baroque favorites at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27.

"Trumpet Glory" features stellar soloists from the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra who will play Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" and Concerto Grosso No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 3, C.P.E. Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in G minor, performed by Maestro Alltop, and music of Telemann, including Concerto for Violin, Cello, Trumpet and Strings in D major and Concerto for Three Trumpets in D major.

The performances of Telemann's works and Handel's Concerto Grosso are underwritten by a generous gift from Carl Amrhein.

A bake sale to benefit the Youth Outreach programs of the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra will be held throughout the afternoon.
