Violinist

This concert is a beloved tradition at the festival led by Andrew Arthur.

Twilight in the Cathedral

San Carlos Cathedral

This one-to-a-part cantata series features the Festival soloists as the vocal consort. The Trauerode, BWV 198, is a masterpiece that features funeral music that provided the backbone for the St. Mark Passion. The Lamentations of Jeremiah by Zelenka are beautifully conceived, gorgeous melodies imbued with mysticism.

Cantatas and Lamentations

All Saints' Episcopal Church

The festival will open with The Game of Threes, as we welcome guest violin soloist and leader Adrian Butterfield to our stage. The concert will feature the magnificent Concerto for Three Violins, as well as the Concerto in A minor for solo violin, and will also examine some composers who influenced Bach, including Albinoni and Vivaldi. The concert will conclude with the masterful Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, a work in which Bach takes the concept of a triple concerto to the next level, as he writes for three groups of three instruments (violins, violas, and cellos), each with an independent part.
