Salish Sea Early Music Festival
Jan 13, 2024
By Salish Sea Early Music Festival
Please join us for our opening 2024 Salish Sea Early Music Festival program on Lopez at Grace Church.
Please see the attached flyer which provides dates for all eight festival programs with outstanding specialists performing early music on period instruments coming from Germany, Switzerland, Montreal and all around the United States and the Northwest.
On Saturday afternoon, January 20 at 1:00 PM, lutenist and guitarist Michael Freimuth from Kiel in Northern Germany joins Jeffrey Cohan for a musical tour of three centuries and five distinct instruments: renaissance guitar, which is considerably smaller and more mellow-toned than its modern descendant; theorbo (an extremely long-necked lute), the one-piece cylindrical renaissance flute along with the bass renaissance flute, and the one-keyed baroque flute.
This program offers an unusual and expansive journey through the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries and music for guitar, lute and flute, including elaborate jazzed-up versions of well known songs of the time, published by the incredible wind instrument virtuosi of the late 16th century, along with canzonas, sonatas and suites from Spain, Italy, England and France. 16th century composers Diego Ortiz, William Byrd, Giovanni Bassano and Girolamo Dalla Casa; 17th-century composers Giovanni Paulo Cima, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Giovanni Battista Fontana, Bartolomé de Selma y Salaverde and Giovanni Battista Buonamenti; and 18th-century composers Arcangelo Corelli and André Chéron will be represented on the program.
Admission is by suggested donation (a free will offering) of $20 to $30. Those 18 & under are free. All are most welcome regardless of donation
