JEWELS THAT BRIGHTLY BURN
Describing Bach’s students as ‘jewels that brightly burn’, Telemann championed Bach’s skill in arranging music to inspire a new generation of musicians as they performed ‘under the orange tree’ in Leipzig. Through their letters and memoirs, this programme tells the story of Bach’s students as they became ‘jewels’. The programme includes arrangements of Bach’s joyous instrumental music alongside Telemann’s stunning ‘Paris’ quartets and sonatas dances by Pisendel, Fasch and Torelli.
Programme to include:
Telemann | Sonata no.1 in A major TWV43:A1
J.S. Bach | ‘French Suite’ no.5 in G Major BWV816 (arr. Ensemble Augelletti)
J.S. Bach | Sonata in G minor BWV1029 (arr. Ensemble Augelletti)
