Join us on a musical journey to enjoy Baroque music from around the world... From the delicacy and refinement of the French style to the more ornate and extravagant Italian music of Vivaldi, this will be an unforgettable experience - not to be missed!
Please note this is a revised concert. The Mercurius Dance Company has had to withdraw from our concert due to a medical emergency with one of the dancers. The original concert will be rescheduled. Keep an eye out for the revised date!
