ANGELS AND DEMONS The struggle between good and evil sets the stage for this Baroque program of music that includes works by Telemann, Dowland, Veracini, Marais and others. Whether a fall from grace or an opportunity for redemption, Amethyst Baroque members take the listener through music depicting the conflict—at least according to composers of the 17th and 18th centuries.
