Saturday, June 20 at 3:00 PM
Experience the elegance and fire of the Baroque trio sonata—where melody, harmony, and counterpoint meet in lively dialogue. French virtuoso Jean-Marie Leclair brings lyrical grace and dance-inspired flair, while George Frideric Handel dazzles with bold invention and expressive warmth. Together, their music paints a portrait of 18th-century sophistication, from Parisian salons to London’s grand halls—refined, radiant, and full of charm. Reception to follow.
Baroque voices intertwine in this program celebrating the art of musical dialogue. From the intricate canons of Gabrieli to the lyrical elegance of Barrière, and the virtuosity of Vivaldi, cellists Rebecca Humphrey and Tulio Rondón explore the expressive possibilities of duo and trio sonatas. Joined by Marc Levine on violin and Tami Morse on harpsichord, the ensemble brings to life the rich tapestry of baroque Europe, where melody, harmony, and invention speak in conversation across centuries. At Sundin Music Hall.
