Three Notch’d Road: The Virginia Baroque Ensemble presents its Saint Valentine’s Day program, If Music Be the Food of Love, at three regional venues. Celebrating love in its varied forms, these vocal and instrumental chamber works offer passionate laments, transcendent airs, and joyous dances. Blending Italian pastoral drama with songs from the British Isles, the performances include works by Handel, Purcell, and Vivaldi, and features soprano Sheila Dietrich and mezzo soprano Kim Leeds. A preconcert talk by guest artistic director and performer Dominic Giardino will take place 30 minutes before each performance.
Friday 2/14–Sunday 2/16. $30, times and locations vary. tnrbaroque.org
