Celebrate your Holiday Season with Family, Friends, & Chatham Baroque!

 

Celebrate your Holidays with Family, Friends, & Chatham Baroque! Experience Chamber Music from Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century German-speaking Lands with Chatham Baroque: A Trio Virtuosic Friday, November 21 • 7:30 PM • Teutonia Männerchor Saturday, November 22 • 7:30 PM  • Calvary Episcopal Church Sunday, November 23 • 2:30 PM • Levy Hall, Rodef Shalom   Bring together family and friends on Nov 21-23 for pre-Thanksgiving festivities with A Trio Virtuosic! Each year, Chatham Baroque’s annual trio concert features the group’s core members—Andrew Fouts (violin), Patricia Halverson (viola da gamba), and Scott Pauley (theorbo)—who have performed together for more than 17 years. This year's program focuses on music from German-speaking lands, highlighting composers active in the 17th and 18th centuries. Works by Dietrich Buxtehude and Johann Heinrich Erlebach treat the violin and viola da gamba as equal solo voices, while pieces by Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, Heinrich Ignaz Biber, Johann Sebastian Bach, and George Frideric Handel center on the remarkable baroque repertoire for solo violin and continuo. The combination of theorbo and viola da gamba in the continuo line helps define Chatham Baroque’s unique sound. Though these composers shared the German language, they lived and worked in cities and courts that were culturally and geographically diverse—including the seventeenth-century courts of Vienna and Salzburg, North German towns such as Leipzig, and cosmopolitan cities such as London.  Purchase Your Tickets Today!
