When Bach’s pupil Johann Ludwig Krebs applied for the position of court organist in Altenburg in 1756, he was auditioned by Georg Benda, Kapellmeister to Duke Friedrich III of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. We don’t know exactly how often Krebs and Benda worked together but collaboration seems likely. This program will contrast their two styles and show the way they may have influenced each other.

In his autobiography, Telemann recounts his visit to Paris and names the musicians who played his music. This concert will recreate his experience with pieces by Telemann’s colleagues Michel Blavet, Jean-Pierre Guignon, and Jean-Baptiste Forqueray, as well as Telemann’s own Nouveau Quatuor No. 4 in B Minor.
