Two legends of the Baroque era, Antonio Vivaldi and JS Bach, will feature in an exciting program of virtuoso arias and solo instrumental works by Arioso Chamber Ensemble next month in Pomona.
The Ensemble, Judit Molnár (soprano), Margaret Caley (baroque violin), Belinda Manwaring (baroque cello) and Janet Brewer (harpsichord) are now in their eighth year of performing together.
“Although we are all “grounded” now by the pandemic, music continues to connect us with people around the globe,” said Janet.
“Even in the 16th and 17th century– before international travel and being whisked across the world in only a day or so– musical styles and influences still travelled between centres such as Northern Italy, to Germany and England.
“As composer-performers like Vivaldi and JS Bach, moved from one city to another, the latest musical fashions travelled with them.”
Following the Pomona concert, the Ensemble intend sharing its musical journey with audiences in South-East Qld, and at the New England Bach Festival, Armidale, NSW www.ne-bach-festival.com/
Bach And Vivaldi—the Legends of Baroque, Majestic Theatre, Pomona, 2.30pm Sunday, May 9. Tickets $15 – $30. Bookings and more information, www.ariosochamberensemble.com
