CLASSICAL: The Gravesend Players (8/11)
Published by Brenda Tremblay on Aug 08, 2007
Listening to Baroque music, you might get the idea that the world is an orderly, calm, predictable place in which everything makes sense. Lyrical, logical, and infectious, it's especially transporting when played on authentic instruments (are there inauthentic ones?), meaning archaic instruments J.S. Bach might have heard. Sometimes this sounds a little out of tune to our modern ears. The Gravesend Players offer a glimpse at a reasoned world in works by J.S. Bach, Handel, Pachelbel, Paisiello, and Bordet. Players include Andrew Bolotowsky (on Baroque flute), harpsichordist James Wong, members of the Gravesend Players, and guest artist, soprano Mary Hurlbut.
The concert takes place Saturday, August 11, in the Hobart & William Smith Colleges Library, 330 Pulteney Street, Geneva, 315-521-1876, 7 p.m., $7-$10, all ages. genevarts.com.
