Newton Baroque will present a capricious romp with chamber music from 17th Century Austria featuring music for two and three violins by Franz Biber, Johann Schmelzer, Giovanni Buonemente, and Johann Pachelbel. Not only will you hear Pachelbel’s celebrated Kanon, in which three violins play in canon over an ostinato bass, we will enjoy a riotous ciacona in canon from the third Partia of Biber’s Harmonia artificioso arioso.
It all takes place at The Allen House (35 Webster Street, West Newton) on Saturday, September 21 at 7PM. Tickets available online.
Musicians: Susanna Ogata, Christina Day Martinson, Julia Glenn – Violin, Cullen O’Neil – Cello, Andrus Madsen – Harpsichord
