Cello Department Recital

San Francisco Conservatory of Music

The conductor-less and period-instrument chamber orchestra performs music of the 18th century. Directed and coached by Corey Jamason and Elisabeth Reed, the ensemble continues to perform brilliant and virtuosic music for baroque orchestra, with students from both the Orchestra and Historical Performance programs.

SFCM Baroque Ensemble

Directed by world-renowned guitarist and lutenist Richard Savino, El Mundo takes us on a treasure hunt through the archives of the Cathedral of Guatemala City, where classical 16th-century polyphony blended with secular indigenous dances to create a unique Hispanic style that still exists today. The archives contain numerous works by some of the most celebrated Latin American and Spanish composers of the 17th and 18th centuries, among them Juan Iribarren, Sebastián Durón, and Jose de Torres of Spain, as well as native-born Guatemalan composers Manuel José Quiroz and his nephew, Rafael Antonio Castellanos.

SopranoSherezade Panthaki enjoys ongoing international collaborations with many of the world’s leading conductors including Nicholas McGegan, Masaaki Suzuki, Martin Haselböck, Mark Morris, Nicholas Kraemer, Matthew Halls, Stephen Stubbs, and Gary Wedow.

The faculty mentors of the American Bach Academy represent the highest echelon of Baroque musicians/scholars, each one an accomplished performer with highest international standing. Members of ensembles worldwide as well as having prolific recording discographies, they bring their skills, insights, and expertise to Academy participants. These concerts present opportunities for their students and protégés, along with public audiences, to hear these wonderful moments of collaboration.

Faculty Concerts

Chamber music by Stradella, Vitali, Gabrieli, Purcell, Vivaldi, Pisendel and Froberger.

Jamason, Reed, and Blumenstock

A favorite of ABS’s Bay Area audiences, violinist Tatiana Chulochnikova has been praised by the press for her “fiercely pointed” (San Francisco Chronicle) and “fine performances” (The Washington Post), and “thrilling technique and bravura style” (San Francisco Classical Voice). Coupled with the hilltop views of this Saint Francis Woods home, you’ll be treated to a recital of Bach, Tartini, and Telemann, accompanied by plenty of hors d’oeuvres and a sampling of priceless wines from one of the most spectacular wine cellars in San Francisco.
Of special note on the program is a command performance of Tatiana's and Corey's scintillating performance of Tartini's famously difficult "Devil's Trill" Sonata, not to be missed!

"Into the Woods" with ABS

Locatelli's rarely performed concerto "The Harmonic Labyrinth" is named after its extraordinarily expansive cadenza. YuEun Gemma Kim will bring her dazzling technique to this piece, equally matched by ABS flutist Sandra Miller's definitive performance of Bach's Orchestral Suite for flauto traverso and strings. Elegance is at the foreground of Telemann's Concerto and Quartet. And Bach's merry and bright Wedding Cantata sets the stage for this Sunday matinée.

The Harmonic Labyrinth

War Memorial and Performing Arts Center

Beloved Bay Area favorites Cynthia Keiko Black (violin), Elizabeth Blumenstock (violin), Corey Jamason (harpsichord), and Elisabeth Reed (viola da gamba) join together for a dynamic program of deeply expressive chamber music from 17th-century Germany and Austria. Enjoy music for solo and duo violins, viola da gamba, and harpsichord by Dietrich Becker, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, Dieterich Buxtehude, Johann Jakob Froberger, Johann Pachelbel, and Johann Heinrich Schmelzer.

Black, Blumenstock, Jamason & Reed: Teutonic Titans

ABS violinist Tekla Cunningham — whose playing has been described as “ravishingly beautiful” and “stellar” — will be joined by ABS harpsichordist Corey Jamason in a program of works composed by renowned Dresden composers Pisendel and Veracini, who were famously competitive. The city was also the stage of another notorious duel between harpsichordists Bach and Marchand, who fled the scene rather than face Bach’s keyboard genius. Works by all four composers will be performed.
