Victoria Baroque with Kati Debretzeni violin/leader (UK) A riot of fiery and virtuosic works by Italian Baroque masters, full of energy, drama, passion and drive! One of the leading baroque violinists of our time leads the Victoria Baroque in a varied programme of Concerti for baroque instruments by Vivaldi, Locatelli, Geminiani, and Dall'Abaco.

Now in their seventh season, the Victoria Baroque presents dynamic, personal, and engaging performances of music from the Baroque and Classical periods. Playing on instruments of the 18th century, the ensemble brings audiences closer to the sound world of the period, embracing the dance-driven rhythmic vitality, as well as the lyrical and conversational aspects of baroque music. "Lead-violinist Kati Debretzeni was the outright star, infusing the dance movements with crackling energy, delivering a ravishing cadenza in the fourth concerto."
