La Follia continues its World Tour of Baroque Music series with a concert of secular and sacred vocal masterworks from Italy, France, Germany, and England.

Featured are familiar hits such as Handel's "Eternal Source" (from the Royal Wedding), Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring" and "Lobet den Herrn", and selections from Vivaldi's "Gloria". Also on the program are superb arias by Alessandro Scarlatti, Caccini, Pergolesi, Clerambault, Campra, Charpentier, Mondonville, Purcell, Fux, and Telemann.
