The Presence of the Past
ScheckMate: Raffael Scheck, 'cello & Timothy Burris, lute and guitar
When vividly recalled, the past becomes present, not bygone, but by (with) us. The present, likewise, can revive the past, not as a dead reflection but as through a window in time. In this program, ScheckMate revives music of the past that suggests the future (by Giovanni Bononcini). By way of 19th-century works of transition, they complete the circle with contemporary works that suggest the past (including Bachianas Brasileiras #5 by Villa-Lobos).
7pm - Scarborough Public Library, Scarborough, ME

Torres Meets Tárrega: Music of Francisco Tárrega and Contemporaries
Timothy Burris, guitar
Before Andres Segovia, there was Francisco Tárrega, arguably the founder of the modern school of guitar playing. In addition to his work as a concertizing artist and composer, Tárrega was an inspiring teacher who influenced a generation of students. Several of those students, in turn, went on to significant careers as composers, concert artists, and teachers. Timothy Burris will perform a program of classical guitar music by Francisco Tárrega and several of his students, including Miguel Llobet, Emilio Pujol, and Daniel Fortea. Mr Burris will perform the works on a guitar built for him by Richard Berg (Ottawa), a copy of an 1864 instrument presented by the father of the modern classical guitar, Antonio Torres, to a youthful Francisco Tárrega.
7:30pm - Emery Community Arts Center, Farmington, ME

Bach Suites on Violoncello de Spalla
Sergey Malov, violoncello da spalla
The remarkable violoncello da spalla—literally a cello "played on the shoulder"—has been almost completely forgotten. J.S. Bach loved the instrument and wrote expressly for it—it may, in fact, be the instrument for which he wrote one or more of his cello suites. This Boston debut by Sergey Malov, the world's greatest performer on this extraordinary instrument, will change the way you hear this iconic music. The program includes Cello Suites 2, 3, and 6 (c.1720).
1:30pm - Gardner Museum, 25 Evans Way, Boston, MA 02115
