From the Conductor:
"This program spotlights some of the very best of Italian and Italianate concerti grossi- that wonderfully flexible form that grew into the classical concerto. The chief characteristic of the form is the alternation of soloists and full string orchestra playing the same material in a sort of call and response fashion.”

-DANIEL STEPNER
