On the morning after Emmanuel Coppey's amazing performance of Bach's Sonata No. 2 and Partita No. 2 for solo violin, he met GEMS' Executive Director John Thiessen for coffee. Their order, appropriately enough was...No. 2!

FROM 1980 TO NOW and beyond, the Baltimore Consort has been presenting world class early music performances like the one at the Midtown Concerts series on January 9, 2025: The Food of Love: Songs, Dances & Fancies for Shakespeare. What a treat! And may we add that Danielle Svonavec made the perfect Puck!

WHAT WE HEARD: The ensemble Duo Cok & Verschuren took us on a Grand European Tour last Thursday at Midtown Concerts. Their program for harpsichord and bassoon included Telemann's Sonata in F minor, TWV 41:f1, and Handel's Sonata in D minor, Op. 1, No. 9. After Bach's Fantasie & Fuga, BWV 904 for harpsichord , the duo treated us to music by the relatively unknown Christoph Schaffrath (1709–1763), his Duetto in G minor. The deep, soothing sound of the bassoon supported by harpsichord was the ideal, calming way to start the New Year.

LES BERGERS wished us all a Joyeux Noël at the December 12 Midtown Concerts performance, with a program that added hurdy-gurdy, musette, and bassoon to the sonorous sounds of two violins and viola, flauto traverso, and violoncello. Featured were pieces by Michel Corrette (1707-1797) and Esprit Philippe Chédeville (1696 - 1762). including--surprise-- the Noël Américain. The next Midtown concert is January 2, but you can watch videos of past concerts on YouTube here:
