“Musical Conversations:
Trio Sonatas from 1610-1738”
You won’t want to miss this creative concert exploring conversations between musicians, instruments, nationalities, and chamber music traditions from the 17th and 18th centuries. It features one of Telemann’s beloved “Paris Quartets,” composed during his visit to Paris in 1737-1738. The piece is a beautiful realization of a French-styled dance suite through the lens of a German composer who was also well versed in the Italian musical style. This centerpiece will be paired with some lesser-known early baroque gems by Giovanni Pablo Cima, Tarquinio Merula, and J.S. Bach, plus a fascinatingly chromatic Trio Sonata by his son, C.P.E Bach.
