Agate Encores Community Concerts and Moose Lake Community Education AGE to age are pleased to say “thank you” to area residents by sponsoring this free event.

Long before jazz music, rock, and country, the world lived in a golden age called the Baroque Era. From 1600-1750, the musical style was considered radical — highly decorated, exaggerated, and dramatic. The Lyra Baroque Orchestra, based in St. Paul, is one of the most respected early music ensembles. The musicians play on authentic period instruments, bringing a rare freshness and spirit to this glorious music. The orchestra prides itself on being unusually accessible to audiences through captivating, relevant performances and educational programs that inspire future generations of musicians.
