Expect a ten from The Pacific Chamber Players with their next performance in the popular Baroque Brilliance series of concerts they have been presenting this year.
And it’s not just because there are ten players in the group. Artistic director and pianist Janet Brewer promises a spirited, lively and light-hearted programme which will delight music lovers of not only baroque but all tastes.
Cooroy Memorial Hall is again the venue for the concert later this month which features Daniel Kossov performing Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor BWV 1041.
Says Janet, “Daniel is a graduate of the famed Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and the Guildhall School of London and he will bring to life the exquisite solo lines of this concerto. Neil Heymink, a favourite of our patrons, will be featured in Vivaldi’s vital bassoon concerto in A minor, RV 497.
“German composer Georg Phillip Telemann is represented with The Overture Suite for Oboe, Trumpet and Orchestra, TWV55. This is an appealing work that highlights the regal nature of the solo instruments. And for something light, we have movements from Purcell’s ‘Fairy Queen.’
“The programme’s wild card is CPE Bach’s Symphony in C, H659: an energetic work of unusual inventions and abrupt changes of mood.”
The Pacific Chamber Players: Anna Moores, Daniel Kossov and Cathie Roberts (violin), Andrew Paszkowski (viola), Franciska O’Connor (cello), Nik Davey (bass), Sue Hunkin (oboe), Neil Heymink (bassoon), Warren Brewer (trumpet), Janet Brewer (harpsichord).
Cooroy Memorial Hall, Sunday November 24 at 2.30 pm. Tickets adults $35 / concessions $32 / school students $12. Available online at www.pacifichcamberplayers.com or cash at the door.
