Musica Angelica Looks to Raise Its Profile
In addition to its typical five-program concert season in churches and museums, and its collaborations with other institutions, the early music ensemble Musica Angelica will bring two internationally known conductors to the podium next season for five programs at Zipper Hall at the Colburn School for the Performing Arts and to UCLA’s Royce Hall.
Italian conductor and recorder virtuoso Giovanni Antonini will lead and solo with the period-instrument orchestra in November, playing music by Bach, Handel and Vivaldi, among others.
For the record:

Musica Angelica--Musica Angelica’s new series, Baroque L.A., will present four programs in 2002-2003 at Zipper Hall at the Colburn School for the Performing Arts and at UCLA’s Royce Hall and Schoenberg Hall. The wrong number of concerts was announced in Monday’s Calendar. Schoenberg Hall was also omitted. And founder Michael Eagan’s last name was misspelled.

A founding member of the baroque ensemble Il Giardino Armonico, which he has led since 1989, Antonini won a Grammy Award in 2000 for his collaboration with Cecilia Bartoli on her CD “The Vivaldi Album.”
British conductor Harry Bicket will lead the baroque orchestra in Bach’s Mass in B minor in March and in concerts featuring Handel and Rameau.
The expansion of Musica Angelica’s offerings is an effort to raise its artistic profile and expand its audience base, said director and archlutenist Michael Eagen, who founded the ensemble in 1993.
