The international orchestra Il Giardino d’Amore (“The Garden of Love”) will perform Baroque music on original instruments. Led by violinist Stefan Plewniak and harpsichordist Marco Vitale, the orchestra specializes in the performance of Italian, Polish, and French baroque music of the 17th and 18th centuries. The orchestra has performed at numerous festivals, including the Bach festival in Vienna, the Utrecht old music festival in Germany, and the Tartini festival in Slovenia. On tour in the United States and Canada this fall, the orchestra will be featured, among others, as part of the New York Early Music Celebration in New York City, and Mooredale Concerts in Toronto before traveling to Rochester.
