Le Consort: A Trio Sonata Soirée

“A sumptuous feast for both enthusiasts of Baroque music and… those unfamiliar with the genre”

— Stage and Cinema

A Trio Sonata Soirée

Le Consort invites you to the baroque era, in which the trio Sonata was the most popular chamber music formation. This whirlwind program will spotlight examples by famous composers such as Bach and Telemann, alongside some unjustly neglected Baroque masters, illustrating the immense expressive range and creativity of this repertoire. With a few strokes of the two violins and cello bows and animation of the harpsichord’s keys, let yourself be teleported from the Venice of Albinoni and Gentili to the Naples of Porpora, with a visit to Telemann and Bach in Germany. The program concludes with a magnificent setting of “Follia”—the era’s most recognizable melody, and one which still resonates today. A great journey awaits you!

Program includes:

TELEMANN
Sonata in D Major for Cello and Basso Continuo

BIBER
Passacaglia for Solo Violin

J.S. BACH
Trio Sonata in G Major, BWV 1039

ALBINONI
Sonata Prima, Op. 1

GEMINIANI
La Follia

…and more to be announced.
