Bach, Telemann, Vitali, and Vivaldi with the same dream team of soloists taking turns in the spotlight.  The performance will take place in the intimate and newly renovated sanctuary of South Church and is a rare opportunity to hear this beautiful concert at a time that is free of the Holiday busy-ness and stress.

MISTRAL has been bringing “unstuffy, unpredictable, and unmatched” concerts with internationally renowned musicians to the Greater Boston area since 1997. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Julie Scolnik, Mistral performances are always a little eccentric, stubbornly personal, impassioned, and committed to invigorating old traditions with an ever-youthful perspective. The Mistral 2021-22 concert season is funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
