Due to the wintry weather and hazardous road condition, it is with deepest regret that Odyssey needs to cancel "Baroque Concerto" performance tonight. BUT, please consider coming to our 'encore' performance in Jefferson City tomorrow night, which includes Beethoven's Piano Concerto with solo pianist Henry Huang and Bach Cantata. ALL Odyssey Baroque tickets are transferable to 2/16. Hope to see you then!

Baroque Concerto
with a Pre-concert Performance at 6:45pm (in Columbia)
“Baroque Concerto” will feature a pre-collegiate concerto competition winner with the Odyssey Chamber Ensemble, led by Jefferson City Symphony Orchestra conductor Patrick Clark. Because of his affiliation with his newly found Southside Philharmonic Orchestra based in Jefferson City, Odyssey has a partnership to produce one performance here in Columbia, and another in Jefferson City with the same classical concerto competition winner – for the second year. The highlight of the concert is the annual Bach Cantata with Bach Collegium Choir directed by R. Paul Crabb, performed with the Odyssey Chamber Ensemble.
