Album Release - My Cup of Tea

The album will feature solo Bach interlaced with Celtic folk tunes, demonstrating my affinity of both genres and their similarities. The concert program will include movements from Bach’s Solo Violin Sonatas, Partitas, and Cello Suites, performed on Baroque Violin & Viola respectively. These will be entwined and paired with Baroque era Celtic tunes of Scottish and Irish origins. The focus will be on dance movements and ballads.

Baroque to Folk
Baroque to Folk

This program weaves together melodies from Bach’s Baroque with traditional folk, celtic, and bluegrass fiddle repertoire, exploring the connections found between Baroque to Folk. Our arrangements draw material from Bach’s Cello Suite No. 2 in D minor, Violin Partita in E Major, Violin Concerto in A min, The Hunting Cantata and the Brandenburgs, with a few surprises from Telemann and other contemporaries. The Baroque will be compiled with traditional Folk and bluegrass fiddle repertoire such as Shady Grove, Foreign Lander, Nellie Kane, and Celtic melodies including Tuttle’s Reel, Sakow’s Jig and more. We highly encourage toe tapping as you experience this treasured music in a different way!

Glass & Dvorak

Beneath a Tree - Baroque to Folk will be exploring the range of colors and sonorities available through the use of period instruments. The program will include Philip Glass’ String Quartet No.5 and the Dvorak Bass Quintet No. 2 Op. 77 in G major. The journey will start with Glass’ minimalism, showcasing the sound palette available through the use of gut strings, and end with Dvorak’s richness of textures and fleshy instrumentation. For more information, check out our Calendar.
