Pacific Chamber Players present Baroque Brilliance

The Pacific Chamber Players are presenting their ever-popular Baroque Brilliance concert 2.30pm Saturday 23 November at Eudlo Hall and Sunday 24 November at Cooroy Memorial Hall.  

This year’s program showcases Daniel Kossov performing Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor BWV 1041.  A graduate of the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and the Guildhall School of London, the exquisite solo lines of this concerto are brought to life with Daniel’s meticulous care.  

Neil Heymink, a favourite of The Players patrons, will be featured in Vivaldi’s vital bassoon concerto in A minor, RV 497: a vigorous work played with aplomb.  Telemann is represented with his Overture Suite for Oboe, Trumpet and Orchestra, TWV55:D1.  

This is an appealing work that highlights the regal nature of the solo instruments.  And for something light, movements from Purcell’s “Fairy Queen”.  

The program’s wild card is CPE Bach’s Symphony in C, H659: an energetic work of unusual inventions and abrupt changes of mood.  

Tickets are adults $35 / concessions $32 / school students $12.  These are available online at www.pacifichcamberplayers.com or cash at the door.
