Before Bach, there was Biber: the flutist Quantz could play his virtuoso violin works well, and Mozart grew up knowing the Salzburg church where Biber's sacred works had been performed. Biber's works for the violin are easily the most important of their kind, and as a composer he anticipated every major compositional trend for the next several hundred years. This concert – titled using Biber's personal motto – traces the development of Biber's style in a joyful program of works exploring the full range of the violin's potential in the latter 17th century. Bagels and coffee at 11am.
