Musica Transalpina
Newton Baroque: Alison Gangler, oboe; Jesse Irons, Emily Dahl Irons, Laura Gulley, violins; Laura Jeppesen, viola; Sarah Freiberg Ellison, cello; Allen Hamrick, bassoon; Andrus Madsen, harpsichord
This program of scintillating concerti and trio sonatas features the many Italian composers active in German-speaking cities in the early 18th century. Many of them remain rarely heard; because much of the 20th-c. revival of Baroque music was grounded in nationalism, German music scholarship tended to focus on native German composers while steering away from the talented Italian musicians who had crossed the Alps. Meanwhile, Italian scholarship focused on those Italians who remained south of the Alps, thereby omitting a treasure trove of musical contributions. Bringing these oft-overlooked artists into the spotlight, Newton Baroque performs works by Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello from Bologna, active in Munich and Stuttgart, Evaristo Felice Dall’Abaco from Verona, who worked in Munich, and Giovanni Benedetto Platti of Padua, who spent his career in Würzburg.
8pm - St. Anne's in the Fields, 147 Concord Rd. Lincoln, MA
$25 General Admission / $20 Students & Seniors. Masks and proof of vaccination required.

The Lonesome Touch: Solo Bach and the Music of East Clare - Virtual Premiere
Julia Connor, violin
"The lonesome touch" is a common moniker for the East Clare Irish music tradition, which is considered the oldest surviving regional folk music style in Ireland. Characterized by slower tempi, prevalence of minor keys and modes, and sparse ornamentation, this music has been passed down aurally for hundreds of years. This program for solo violin brings together traditional dance tunes from East Clare and J.S. Bach's d minor partita, interspersing sets of Clare tunes between movements of Bach. Juxtaposing the dance sets with the dance-inspired movements of Bach casts each in a new light, highlighting the dance origins of the Bach while inviting audiences to consider the artistry, nuance, and deep understanding of tradition that go into a compelling fiddle performance.
8pm EDT - on YouTube. Free to watch, with donations welcome and encouraged. https://www.sohipboston.org/support-sohip
Video remains available for later viewing.

The Recorder Alone - Virtual Premiere
Emily O'Brien, recorders
The recorder is traditionally primarily an ensemble instrument–but what do you do with a wind instrument during an airborne pandemic? This program explores several ways that the recorder may play unaccompanied: music where the bass line is explicitly optional; ways that a single player may cover multiple lines; and original unaccompanied repertoire. In this program, virtuoso musician Emily O’Brien borrows from the stringed instrument works of Ortiz and Bach, the wind repertoire of Bassano and Boismortier, and she’ll present the premiere of a new work by Michael O'Brien for the solo recorder that commemorates our collective emergence from the pandemic.
8pm EDT - on YouTube. Free to watch, with donations welcome and encouraged. https://www.sohipboston.org/support-sohip
