Consortium Aurora Borealis Concert – THE AGE OF ELEGANCE: A FEAST FOR FLUTE AND HARPSICHORD
September 16 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$25
Consortium Aurora Borealis serves up a feast of elegant eighteenth-century music for flute and harpsichord from Germany and France as the first concert of its 45th Anniversary Season. For many years it was a tradition that Doris Dungan and Elizabeth Ganiatsos open our series with a programme of Baroque works for flute and harpsichord. As Consortium’s longest-serving musicians, and because this is a special anniversary year, they’ve selected their favourite pieces from those occasions, going back to their earliest performances. Our current French two-manual harpsichord is a stunning concert instrument with a ravishing sound, a suitable partner to the flute’s silver sound.
We revive our long-standing tradition with an offering of delightful music by J. S. Bach, his forward-looking son C. P. E. Bach, virtuoso flautist Michel Blavet, opera composer Hasse, Jean-Marie Leclair, and Telemann. Our composers enjoyed fame and popularity during their lifetime, and most were virtuosos on their chosen instrument. We invite everyone, especially students and wind players, to come to our celebration of the flute, as Doris Dungan enchants us with its magic!
