Paolo Bordignon, harpsichordist, in recital

with David Ross (solo flute), Beth Wenstrom (solo violin), Chiara Fasani Stauffer (violin), Dan McCarthy (viola), Ezra Seltzer (cello) Wen Yang (bass)

The year 1685 saw the births of three of musical history’s greatest creators: Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, and Domenico Scarlatti. The harpsichord was the primary domestic keyboard instrument of the high Baroque and all three of these composers wrote masterfully and prolifically for it. Join us for this program including Handel’s Suite in E major (with the Harmonious Blacksmith Variations), a few handfuls of Scarlatti’s 555 Sonatas for harpsichord, and Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, a tour-de-force of the Baroque repertoire and the first keyboard concerto in history.
