Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal and Arion Orchestre Baroque present

Royal Splendors

What better way to “royally” celebrate the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal’s half-century than with another wonderful collaboration with Arion Baroque Orchestra? Both will join forces here in a splendid program featuring Handel’s sparkling Music for the Royal Fireworks, with brilliant brass that can also be heard in the same composer’s anthems for the coronation of George II, and in William Boyce’s anthem for the coronation of George III.
