This Saturday, March 2, starting at 3:00 PM at the McKinney Chapel of the First Unitarian Congregational Society, 121 Pierrepont Street, the Repast Baroque Ensemble will present “Telemann: the faithful Music Master,” a concert of works by the early 18th century German composer Georg Philipp Telemann:
Master of all forms and national styles, Georg Philipp Telemann was one of the savviest and
most prolific composers of the Baroque. His cosmopolitan music was disseminated to his fans
through his serialized self-published Der getreue Music-Meister, which ran for 25 issues and
included pieces for nearly every common instrument of the time. With its solo sonatas, chamber works, and programmatic pieces (such as a suite depicting the recently published—and wildly
popular—Gulliver’s Travels), this innovative collection truly offers something for everyone.
Repast presents a kaleidoscopic array of works from this collection, including a grand Ouverture-
Suite, intimate sonatas and chamber music, and Heldenmusik, a musical portrayal of the heroic
temperaments.
The musicians for this concert will be Natalie Rose Kress on violin, Stephanie Corwin on bassoon, Gabe Shuford on harpsichord, and Sarah Abigael Stone on cello and viola da gamba. Tickets are available here, or may be purchased at the door.
