The Able Virtuoso – Spring Baroque Festival

• The Able Virtuoso •
Carrie Krause ~ baroque violin
Jeffrey Cohan ~ baroque flute
John Lenti ~ theorbo & baroque guitar

Johann Mattheson’s The Able Virtuoso, published in Hamburg in 1720, sets the tone for this program of virtuoso trio sonatas inspired by Corelli and the fusion of Italian, French, and German styles, which were quite distinct in the 18th century.

Trio sonatas for violin and flute with theorbo (a very long-necked lute) and baroque guitar by Johann Sebastian Bach, Archangelo Corelli, Pietro Locatelli, Antoine Dornel and Joseph Bodin de Boismortier will be featured in this virtuoso survey of the great variety of musical styles of 18th century Europe.
