Description
Baroque trumpeter John Thiessen, whose playing has been called "flawless" and "effervescent" by the Wall Street Journal, joins American Bach Soloists 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. Plus Bach's rousing Sixth Brandenburg - a virtual quadruple concerto for violas and violas de gamba - will bring the season to a brilliant close.TICKETS: $16-$42 general; $10 student/senior advance; $5 student rush at the door
