Dear Friends!
I invite you all to join Emilie and I for a festive HANDEL EXTRAVAGANZA on Sunday, February 26th, 2017 at 5:00 p.m, when we will be showcasing G.F. Handel's complete works for violin and keyboard - a rarity to hear in their entirety! Born in the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Scarlatti, Georg Frideric Handel (1685-1759) was a celebrated German, and later British, Baroque composer who spent the bulk of his career in London, having composed 120 cantatas, 42 operas, 29 oratorios, 16 organ concerti, 16 Keyboard Suites, two beloved collections of Concerti Grossi, opp. 3 and 6, numerous anthems, trios, duets, arias, and a rich body of chamber music. Aside from the English choral tradition, he was also influenced by the German polyphonic style as well as the great composers of the Italian Baroque, including Albinoni, Corelli, Vivaldi, Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti. Handel's mastery of the Baroque Italian style, characterized by its flighty virtuosity, lyrical cantabile style, and transparent textures, is revealed in his nine resplendent Sonatas for violin and keyboard, which include five authentic sonatas and the other four published under Handel's name despite their dubious authenticity. They pulse with exhilarating rhythmic vitality in the fast movements and stir the heart in their beautifully expressive slow movements. Aside from the nine sonatas, included on our program are the three self-standing movements: the dark and dramatic Allegro in C minor, the brilliant Fantasia in A Major, and the chromatically adventurous Andante in A minor. Don't miss this festive musical feast of Handel's complete works for violin and keyboard! 
Emilie and I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday, February 26th! 
 
Best wishes,
