| Jacobean Consort Music Saturday January 25th at 4pm!
Evening Music, the series of FREE chamber-music concerts presented by the Friends of Music at St. Saviour's, continues on Saturday 25 January at 4:00 pm.
The ensemble Harmonie Universelle will perform Jacobean Consort Music: chamber music from the time of the Stuart kings of England (1604-1714) for harp, organ, and strings. Harpist Phoebe Durand will play on a reproduction of a 17th-century Italian triple harp, a harp with three rows of strings that was designed to play the chromatic music of the Baroque era, 150 years before the invention of the modern pedal-harp. She will join organist Daniel Pyle, who will play on a small portable organ designed for chamber-music of the 15th - through the 18th centuries. Also performing will be violinists Heidi Powell and Sylvia Schwartz and cellist Raffael Scheck. The program is centered on works by Henry Purcell, William Lawes, and Giovanni Coperario. The last composer, in spite of his name, was an Englishman who was born John Cooper, but changed his name because he thought that Italian musicians were favored over their English contemporaries.
Harmonie Universelle has been performing music of the 17th and 18th centuries using historically-appropriate instruments and playing styles for over four decades. It was founded by American musicians working and studying in Amsterdam in the Netherlands in 1982. They returned to the United States in 1986, and since then have been performing throughout the U.S. and western Europe. |
