March is Early Music Month! Please
join Sinfonia Spirituosa for “An Afternoon in Italy” as we live up to
our name in a sparkling, high-energy program celebrating Italian baroque
music on Saturday, March 4th at 4:00 pm at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral
in Sacramento, and Sunday, March 5th at 4:00 pm at the Episcopal Church
of St. Martin in Davis.
Harmonically rich and rhythmically playful, Francesco Geminiani’s Concerto Grosso Op. 2, No. 4 in D Major, steps out of winter into spring with the sunny trio of soloists Cathie Apple, flute; Tyler Lewis, violin; and Timothy Stanley, cello.
Bassoonist David A. Wells will perform Sonata No. 8 from Arcangelo Corelli’s famous and tremendously influential Opus 5.
As part of our Mentorship Program, we are especially proud and excited to collaborate with 11 talented students from the Davis Senior High Baroque Ensemble. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear these young musicians shine as we celebrate Domenico Scarlatti’s inspiration for the Concerto Grosso in D Minor No. 5 by Charles Avison.
All the color, character and energy of the Four Seasons are packed into the emotional roller coaster ride of Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in E Minor, an exhilarating tour de force featuring concertmaster Jubal Fulks.
The Andante Stacatto e Piano of Antonio Caldera, with its charming dialog and elegant lilt, provides a thoughtful respite that nods toward a later style.
Bringing our concert to a vibrant end, the plucking and strumming of harpsichord, baroque guitar, arch lute and theorbo drive the imaginative, French-influenced variations of the grand Chaconne in A Major by Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello.
