This year’s Holiday Baroque concert features works of Corelli, Charpentier, Vivaldi, and Bach, classics that surely capture the spirit of the season.
Long-time Rembrandt ensemble members John Macfarlane, Carol Cook, and Calum Cook will be joined by some of the ensembles most frequent collaborators and some of Chicago’s finest musicians.
