Thursday, August 7, 6pm
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church
This spirited program celebrates the vibrant world of Baroque chamber music and the close ties between J.S. Bach and Telemann—friends, colleagues, and creative giants. Bach’s Concerto for Violin and Oboe opens with expressive interplay, while Telemann’s Gulliver’s Travels brings Swift’s satire to life through the charm of two violins. His concertos for flute, viola, and oboe d’amore—and for viola alone—highlight his flair for color and invention. C.P.E. Bach, godson of Telemann, brings bold individuality to a trio that bridges generations.
Performance duration is approximately one hour and twenty minutes. There is no intermission.
