Joyous Baroque music comes to Eudlo with Chamber Ensemble

Janet Brewer (harpsichord), Judit Molnar (soprano), Margaret Caley (baroque violin) as part of the Arioso Chamber Ensemble performing at New England Bach Festival Armidale.

Formed in 2014, Arioso Chamber Ensemble brings together the talents and experience of leading specialists in Baroque performance. 

This year Arioso welcomes viola da gamba player Shannon Scheltema.  Shannon has recently returned from The Netherlands where she has spent several years performing with orchestras and ensembles in The Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. 

Arioso Chamber Ensemble’s first programme for 2023 includes a selection of joyous celebratory Baroque music including Handel’s “Music for the Royal Fireworks”, Vivaldi’s solo motet “Nulla in mundo pax sincera”, a selection of arias by Handel and Purcell, and sonatas by Rebel and Rameau.  

Arioso artists Judit Molnar (soprano), Margaret Caley (baroque violin), Janet Brewer (harpsichord) are looking forward to the unique viola da gamba sound Shannon will bring to the ensemble: a truly baroque vibe!
