Minkowski Conducts – Music of the Baroque Jan. 25, 2025 Harris Theater Renowned French conductor Marc Minkowski makes his Music of the Baroque debut with music by three orchestral gods—Handel, Rameau, and Mozart. Handel’s concerto grosso originally belonged to a lost “magic opera,” while the Greek god Apollo is the hero in Rameau’s Suite from Les Boréades. And the sheer power of Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony—his final orchestral work—prompted the connection to the Roman god of the sky.
