Description

Baroque trumpeter John Thiessen, whose playing has been called “flawless” and “effervescent,” joins ABS to celebrate the anniversaries of two contemporaries of Bach—Johann Friedrich Fasch and Guiseppe Torelli—with a program of virtuoso trumpet concertos. As an added bonus, ABS will perform Georg Philipp Telemann’s Water Music, a boisterous dance suite that pays homage to seafaring life in early 18th-century Hamburg. Each movement has a mythical aquatic personality: Neptune, Triton, Thetis, Aeolus, and Zephyr are brought to life in music. Bach’s rousing Sixth Brandenburg—a virtual quadruple concerto for violas and violas da gamba—will bring the season to a brilliant close.

Bach:Brandenburg Concerto No. 6
Fasch:Trumpet Concerto in D Major
Handel:Suite in D Major "Mr. Handel's Celebrated Water Piece"
Telemann:Concerto in A Major "The Frogs"
Suite in C Major "Water Music"
Torelli:Trumpet Concerto in D Major
