The CT Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra will perform all six Brandenburg Concerti by J.S. Bach in Hartford and New Britain.
Gems of the Baroque era, the six concerti feature a wide spectrum of orchestral instruments in combinations that might still be considered daring and unusual. Performing without a conductor, this program will showcase the Virtuosi’s skill as a chamber ensemble as well as the virtuosity of individual orchestra members.
Soloists:
Jill Maurer-Davis, flute
Gonzalo Cortes, flute
Johanna Lamb, oboe
Carla Parodi, oboe
Briana Tarby, oboe
Roger Caruk, french horn
Jamie Marci, french horn
Julia Caruk on trumpet
Jennifer Bruening, bassoon
Adrian Sylveen, violin, violin piccolo, and viola
Dorota Peglow, viola
Bridget de Moura Castro, harpsichordist
Admission to both concerts is free, with suggested $20 donations accepted
