Four virtuoso soloists are featured in works by two illustrious members of the Bach family. Oboist Robert Ingliss and violinist Daniel Phillips play J. S. Bach’s lively and warm-hued Concerto for Oboe and Violin, flutist Bart Feller performs C. P. E Bach’s popular D Minor Flute Concerto, and pianist Gilles Vonsattel closes the program with J. S. Bach’s E Major Keyboard Concerto, a work that’s both lighthearted and full of challenging complexity.

Telemann’s lyrical expressiveness, Zelenka’s harmonic inventiveness, and Vivaldi’s pyrotechnics are all on display in this program of Baroque riches, which culminates with Bach’s immortal Brandenburg Concerto No. 2. The evening’s celebrated soloists include violinist William Hagen, violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, National Symphony Orchestra Principal Bassoon Sue Heineman, and Nashville Symphony Principal Trumpet William Leathers. 

Bach, Telemann & Zelenka

Members of the Dover Quartet join other Festival artists in the youthfully exuberant, Classical-era Sonata a quattro No. 1, written by Rossini when he was 12 years old, and Brahms’s sweeping String Sextet in G Major. Between the two works, the Festival presents the US premiere of a commissioned quintet by Finnish composer Outi Tarkiainen, who Gramophone notes “[fuses] jazz and classical idioms” and “draws on her Lapland roots and on the mystery and melancholy of life in the north.”
