Chamber Music Triptych ~ 2019
To augment Early Music New York's GRAND TOUR itinerary, Frederick Renz has mapped out exclusive excursions, presenting three extraordinary chamber music events played by virtuoso artists from abroad and from within the principal ranks of Early Music New York's orchestra.
I. INTERNATIONAL DEBUT - Flanders/Belgium: Terra Nova Collective
Vlad Weverbergh, Musical Director and clarinette d'amour soloist
Where: First Church of Christ, Scientist, Central Park West at 68th St.
When: Saturday, January 19th at 7:30 pm
A rare member of the clarinet family, the clarinette d´amour is deftly played by Terra Nova director, Vlad Weverbergh, in 18th-century works written expressly for the instrument, including:
Joseph Haydn — Quartet for Clarinet and String Trio
Henri Joseph de Croes — Partita for Clarinetto d´Amore
Carl Maria von Weber — Quintet for Clarinet & Strings
The Terra Nova Collective is a historical period-instrument ensemble and music research group based in Antwerp, Belgium. The collective seeks to breathe new life into interesting, unknown, or forgotten music on the concert platform. Their programs often present rare performances side-by-side with familiar works from the western musical repertoire.
II. PRINCIPAL PLAYERS- of the EM/NY Orchestra: Transverse Flute Duos
of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Immanuel Davis and David Ross, flutes
Where: First Church of Christ, Scientist, Central Park West at 68th St.
When: Tuesday, February 26th at 7:30 pm
The six transverse flute duets by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710-1784), first-born son of Johann Sebastian, are among the finest examples of this genre from the 18th century.
Principal EM/NY flutists, Immanuel Davis and David Ross, provide a rare opportunity to hear these representative works complete. Davis is Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota and a Fulbright grantee. Ross earned historical performance degrees from the Koninklijk Conservatorium, Netherlands and the Juilliard School.
