During the early 18th century, several fine European composers became very successful musicians and went on to earn lasting fame and respect for their work. Even though they lived in different countries, several of them did meet, and others corresponded with each other. Ensemble Chaconne (Peter H. Bloom, baroque flute; Olav Chris Henriksen, baroque lute; Carol Lewis, viola da gamba) will play music by composers renowned in their own countries and well known by reputation in other lands: a Concert Royale by François Couperin, an early flute sonata by Georg Frideric Handel, and even a lute concerto by Antonio Vivaldi. There will be some lute works by the great lute virtuoso Sylvius Leopold Weiss, and a beautiful fantasia for solo viola da gamba by Georg Philipp Telemann. Finally, there will be a flute sonata by Johann Sebastian Bach, who knew Weiss and Telemann, and was familiar with the other composers’ works, corresponding with some of them.

Seniors, students, and Somerville Museum members pay reduced price. Tickets are available at the door. Street parking is available. The Museum is ADA compliant.
