A wonderful way to awaken a musician’s curiosity is to introduce them to an obscure composer. Discovering lesser-known pieces by the great masters of Baroque music can be fun, too, as Amethyst Baroque brings together a program of these ‘seldom play’d’ cantatas, sonatas, and more. From Schickhart’s L’Alphabet de la Musique to the suites of Roland Marais, Amethyst Baroque looks deep in the music library for tunes you may have never heard.
$20 general; $10 for discounted categories; no one turned away due to inability to pay.

Back by popular demand, Amethyst performs some outstanding masterpieces with the addition of a few friends of the ensemble. Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto in F (BWV 1057) and Scarlatti’s cantata E perche non sequito o pastorelle are only part of the program of concertos, cantatas, and other works for a larger Baroque ensemble. Guest musicians Jonathan DeLoach (recorder), Daniel McCarthy (viola d’amore), Ute Marks (violin), Dana Duncan-Davis (violin), Mia Mangano (cello), Kelly Stewart (harp) and Gregory Hamilton (theorbo) join Amethyst Baroque for this orchestral production.
