Description
<p> </p> <p>Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047</p> <p>Veracini: Overture No. 6 in G major</p> <p>Vivaldi: Concerto for Two Violins, Two Recorders, Two Oboes and Bassoon in D minor, RV 566</p> <p>Rameau: Suite of Dances from Les Indes Galantes</p> <p>Dall'Abaco: Concerto a piû instrumenti, Op.5, No. 3</p> <p>Telemann: Overture in C major, TWV 55:C3 “Hamburger ebb’ und Fluth” (Water Music)</p> <p>Elizabeth Blumenstock, violin and leader, says about the program: "I have always loved Telemann’s wonderfully grand and impishly imaginative Hamburger Ebb’ und Fluth, also known as his Watermusik, a rollicking evocation of marine mythology. Composed for the centenary of the Hamburg Admiralty in 1723, its lavish wind scoring inspired me to build a program featuring the wind instruments most favored in the high Baroque era: recorders, flutes, oboes, bassoons, and trumpet. Hence, “Winds and Waves.” We’ll match PBO’s October offering of Bach's first Brandenburg Concerto with his lively second Brandenburg Concerto, and feature our marvelous woodwinds in concertos and dances by Vivaldi, Rameau, and Dall’Abaco."</p>
About the Ticket Supplier: Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra
San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra has been dedicated to historically-informed performance of Baroque, Classical and early-Romantic music on original instruments since its inception in 1981.
Under the leadership of Nicholas McGegan, its Music Director since 1985, Philharmonia has become "an ensemble for early music as fine as any in the world today" (Los Angeles Times). The Orchestra performs a subscription season in four cities in the San Francisco Bay Area, and is regularly heard on tour in the United States and internationally. In addition to Mr. McGegan, the Orchestra has welcomed eminent guest conductors to its podium including William Christie, Andrew Parrott, Jordi Savall, Gustav Leonhardt, Monica Huggett and Stanley Ritchie.
