Featuring Boel Gidholm and Molly Werts MacDonald, violins; Christopher Haritatos, cello; and Deborah Fox, theorbo.This concert features music for baroque ensemble, performed on period instruments, modeled on the way they would have been in the baroque era, including gut strings. Music by familiar composers Purcell, Corelli, and Vivaldi, will mix with music by lesser known but no less compelling composers Luigi Boccherini and Dario Castello.
Audiences can expect to hear the melodious interplay of the two violins, with the cello providing a strong foundation, and the theorbo – a long-necked lute of the baroque era –playing bass and providing harmonies and accompaniment, much like the harpsichord.
The Hochstein School’s free noontime Live from Hochstein concert series will be hosted by WXXI Classical’s Mona Seghatoleslami and broadcast live. Listen to the concert on WXXI Classical at 91.5 FM, 90.3 FM, or online at https://www.wxxiclassical.org. Listen to an encore broadcast on WXXI Classical 91.5 FM at 10:00 pm the day of the concert.
