Earlier today, Spokane Symphony Assistant Conductor Jorge Luis Uzcátegui came to our studio and broke down the program of their upcoming “Baroque 2: Handel’s Journey” concert. Performed alongside the Spokane Symphony Chorale, it is designed to take audiences on a journey through Europe in the Baroque tradition with pieces by Handel, Corelli and more.

The two performances will be at 7 PM on February 23 in the Westminster Congregational United Church of Christ, and 3 PM on February 24 in the Spokane Valley Church of the Nazarene.
