The North Carolina Baroque Orchestra is excited to celebrate its 15th Anniversary with you!
Artistic director Frances Blaker will lead the orchestra of specialist musicians performing on Baroque period instruments including strings, theorbo, bassoon, flutes and oboes in a program spanning music from the early Baroque through the early Classical eras.
The flutes and bassoon will be featured in a charming concerto grosso by Geminiani, and the oboes will shine in a gorgeous concerto by Telemann. The strings have their moment in the spotlight sharing their glorious string sounds with you in Georg Muffat’s stunning Passacaglia and a lovely and familiar Mozart Divertimento. You’ll hear the entire orchestra come to life in a Symphony by J.C Bach, a heartrending mini-suite of music by Rameau and an arrangement for our full orchestra of J.S. Bach’s magnificent Brandenburg Concerto no. 3!

Enter a world where movement creates an experience like no other, where the pointe shoe itself becomes percussion and where every step resonates with rhythm and meaning. This exciting program features the return of Mthuthuzeli November’s From Africa With Love, alongside Artistic Director Alejandro Cerrudo’s Dos y Dos y Dos, the first work he created for Charlotte Ballet. Completing the evening is a new creation by German American duo FLOCK, inspired by the phoenix and humanity’s enduring love of storytelling, exploring themes that continue to resonate across time. Together, these works deliver a captivating performance in an intimate setting alive with energy, emotion, and moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

When the world stood still, a small town stepped up. Come From Away shares the remarkable true story of 7,000 airline passengers grounded in Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001. As fear and uncertainty give way to generosity and compassion, strangers become neighbors. Filled with humor, heart, and a soaring score, this Tony Award–winning musical is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, we can find light in one another.

Flat Footed Truths: Stories of Lived Experiences is a juried quilt exhibition featuring quilts and fiber art that depict the soul-stirring, truth-telling, and compelling stories of African American women.
