The centerpiece of this electrifying program is Jean-Féry Rebel’s Les Élémens—a daring and dramatic depiction of chaos giving way to harmony. Paired with timeless works by Vivaldi, Handel, and Bach, this concert promises a journey that is both elemental and transcendent:
Vivaldi: Sinfonia from Il Tamerlano
Handel: Water Music Suite III in G Major
Bach: Air on the G String
Rebel: Les Élémens
Whether you're a longtime Baroque lover or a newcomer drawn to emotionally vivid music, Les Élémens offers a rare opportunity to experience both.

With the commencement of our 27th season, the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra is proud to announce the dedication of our concertmaster chair as the "Cathy Callaway Adams Concertmaster Chair" in honor of our devoted champion and tireless advocate, Ms. Cathy Adams. A driving force behind ABO's success for more than 20 years, Cathy has served as Board President on three separate occasions and held numerous leadership roles with superlative distinction. Through her generous personal support and exceptional fundraising efforts, she has been instrumental in securing the resources that sustain our mission. She remains an active participant in the fulfillment and presentation of our concerts, embodying the passion and commitment that have made the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra Atlanta's premier early music ensemble. We are deeply grateful for all she has done and continues to do to ensure ABO's organizational success and community impact.
What people are saying about the ABO
“…For this listener the experience was of sitting in on a roomful of smart people, hearing one conversation here, then another there, but all of them within a single framework.”
- Earrelevant April 2024 - Concerti grossi
“the show zipped along with youthful vigor — fresh, energetic and fun.”
“The ensemble’s casual virtuosity and tight rhythmic sense gave the music a springy, dance-like physicality. Across the performance, everything felt organic and flowing.”
- Music, dance tell doomed love story in Atlanta Baroque's “Dido & Aeneas”
ARTS ATL
What you experience with early instruments is a little like going to an ethnic restaurant,” says Brent Wissick, who has played viola da gamba, an early form of the cello, with the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra for 14 years. “It’s food you know, but it’s an exciting new way of preparing and presenting it. It’s familiar, but completely new.”
- Brent Wissick, ABO musician
There’s something that’s more like popular music, folk or jazz, that you can hear sometimes in historical performance practice that you don’t hear so much in classical music.”
