Ancient Voices
Our February 28 performance presents J.S. Bach‘s monumental Harpsichord Concerto in D minor, with soloist Leslie Martin. Titled “Ancient Voices,” the concert also includes one of the first well-known black composers during Mozart’s time, Joseph Bologne, also known as Chevalier de Saint-Georges. His string quartets are among the lost treasures of the classical era. “Ancient Airs and Dances” by Ottorino Respighi reimagines 16th century lute music with modern instruments and string techniques.
This online event will be livestreamed from Town Hall in Seattle.
