Ensemble Affect: Colonial Baroque
Taylor Johnston Early Music Series
To mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Ensemble Affect explores music from America’s colonial period. The program highlights works by composers who emigrated from Europe to the American colonies, like Giovanni Gualdo, William Tuckey, and Charles Theodore Pachelbel, alongside music by composers born in the colonies, such as John Antes and John Tufts, all of whom played a pivotal role in shaping the unique musical sound of a young nation.
Guest artists include Sun Chang (harpsichord), Phoebe Gelzer-Govatos (violin), Kioye Matsuura (violin and viola), Pauline Kempf (violin, artistic director), Bahareh Poureslami (soprano), Erik Andersen (cello), and Seth Van Embden (viola).
