[November 07, 2024] 

The Mt. Pulaski Courthouse Foundation is pleased to present the Five Cities Baroque Festival Foundation Ensemble in a program of vocal and instrumental chamber works by J.S. Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann and George Frideric Handel on Sunday, November 10th at 2 p.m. in the Historic Mt. Pulaski Courthouse. The concert also includes work by important women composers of the period such as Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, a French clavecinist and Barbara Strozzi, an Italian Singer and composer of cantatas.

The Five Cities Baroque Foundation Ensemble brings together outstanding area musicians
to perform 17th and 18th century music and present educational concerts and events in midwestern communities. Nate Widelitz, a singer and conductor, is the Artistic Director of the ensemble.

The program is free and open to the public. A reception will follow the performance and provide guests with an opportunity to meet the musicians. Join us for this first of a kind event in Mt. Pulaski. It is a rare opportunity to hear music of the past brought to life.

The Mt. Pulaski Courthouse Foundation is a not-for-profit organization established in 2011 to ensure the preservation of our community's most famous landmark. For additional information visit mphch.org.
