Harmonia Baroque Welcomes Early Music Guests
Free Concert at ASU Thursday

Harmonia Baroque, ASU’s resident early music group is pleased to welcome guest faculty, students and specialists in the field of historical performance. Rebecca Troxler, traverso player, Barbara Krumdieck, cellist, Robbie Link on cello and viola da gamba, and harpsichordist Henry Lebedinsky will join ASU faculty performing on period instruments. The ensemble also welcomes the talents of cellists Franklin Keel and Thomas La Forgia, students of Dr. Kenneth Lurie.

The program highlights music by Bach, with the Trio Sonata in G Major performed by traverso players Nancy Schneeloch-Bingham and Rebecca Troxler, and continuo. Originally a sonata for the viola da gamba, Bach himself transcribed the piece for 2 treble voices. The sixth Brandenburg Concerto will feature the lower-voiced string instruments of the era with Eric Koontz and Nancy Bargerstock as viola soloists. The Lamentation of Jeremiah by Joseph Fiocco continues the celebration of the low instrumental voices in beautiful contrast with mezzo-soprano, Priscilla Porterfield. Alicia Chapman, hautbois, joins the ensemble for music by Telemann and Muffat in delightful melodic play amongst the varied voices of a most varied program.

The performance will be held on Thursday, February 9 at 8:00 in Rosen Concert Hall on the ASU campus. Admission is free, and the public is cordially invited.
