About event
Revel in the rich sonorities of two harpsichords in lively conversation, showcasing the wit and virtuosity of J.S. Bach and his son C.P.E. Bach. Anchored by Lully’s stately Passacaille, the program unfolds with Telemann’s vibrant Ouverture Suite, playfully bridging Baroque complexity and early Classical elegance.
The centerpiece: two sparkling harpsichord concertos—C.P.E.’s bold and unpredictable Concerto in F Major and J.S. Bach’s dramatic Concerto in C Minor. A rare performance of dueling keyboards bursting with energy, contrast, and sheer musical brilliance.
