Happy festivity is the theme of this program that features music composed for a banquet and a short ballet titled "A Splendid Wedding," written by Georg Muffat to introduce his musicians to the sounds of Versailles. The mellifluous flauto traverso is brought front and center in Vivaldi's celebration of a singing goldfinch, and truly charming overtures by Maurice Greene — a composer who held all major musical appointments in England and was a founder of the original Academy of Ancient Music — feature a pair of dulcet flutes. The central focal point of this program reflects Bach’s explorations into the most up-do-date styles of his era, coming to monumental fruition in his last works, including “The Musical Offering,” a lofty zenith of the composer's practically scientific application of musical forms that culminates in his most superbly crafted Trio Sonata.

Listening to superb chamber music is an exquisite experience unlike any other. Mozart's genius shines through in his Flute Quartet with refinement and grace at every turn. And one of the most alluring sounds of Classical period instruments is created by the clarinet. World-renowned clarinetist Thomas Carroll delivers the silken and velvety sonorities of Mozart's Quintet. And no work from the Classical era has ever eclipsed the sheer excitement and brilliance of Mendelssohn's breathtaking Octet.

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.
