With The Golden Hour, the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra delves into the delights of Enlightenment-era salons. In a program featuring music for string quintet and flute, ABO members revel in the music that sprang from that innovative and inspired time. Listen in on musical conversations created through the works of Mozart and Boccherini, as well as lesser-known composers like Michael Haydn, younger brother of Joseph "Papa" Haydn, and Johann Friedrich Peter, an American Moravian composer who first brought the music of Haydn to the New World, and whose six string quintets are among the first known examples of chamber music by a North American composer. The varied textures and colorful lyricism of The Golden Hour are sure to evoke that most lovely time of day.
