Tempesta di Mare | Philadelphia's Baroque Orchestra presents Unmatched: Multicolored Chamber Music for Mixed Instruments

Musicians: principal players of Tempesta di Mare, lead by co-founders and co-directors Gwyn Roberts, recorder/flute and Richard Stone, lute

 

Unmatched will feature six musicians who celebrate the diversity of sound, with music for flute, recorder, oboe, violin, bassoon, lute and harpsichord in many combinations.  It begins with a concerto by Vivaldi, followed by works of the Western and Eastern European composers who put their own spin on the possibilities of unmatched sounds: Janitsch, Fasch, Zelenka, Boismortier and Telemann. The instruments blend and contrast, call and respond, combine and recombine, stand out as soloists and form a cohesive whole.
