Baroque Brilliance

Baroque music might be a few hundred years old, but it’s anything but boring. With fast-paced violin runs, powerful cello duets, and even a harpsichord making an appearance, Baroque Brilliance with The klpac String Orchestra is set to shake up your idea of a classical concert. We catch up with Andrea Sim, the Resident Conductor & Music Director of the klpac String Orchestra, and guest solo cellist Ryan Lim, who help us demystify this musical era, and share why these centuries-old compositions still shine on stage today.
