Philipp Heinrich Erlebach (1657–1714) was Kapellmeister of the court of Thuringia for most of his life. He was known to be a prolific and renowned composer of over 1000 works including operas, cantatas, masses, and chamber music. Sadly, most of his music was destroyed in a fire in 1735 leaving us just a few compositions to get a glimpse of his genius. Cynthia Frievogel, violin; Arnie Tanimoto, viola da gamba; Daniel Swenberg, theorbo; and Gwendolyn Toth, harpsichord will perform selections from Erlebach’s beautifully expressive trios for strings. Soprano Laurie Heimes will sing some of the lovely sacred songs Erlebach wrote for the court in Harmonische Freude musicalischer Freunde (1697). Join ARTEK for an evening of intimate chamber music by candlelight.
