Musica Pacifica | Jan 12⁠–14

Invitation to a Salon

Recline on your chaise longue and enjoy luscious musical bonbons as a member of the French bourgeoisie would! This program, by local favorites Musica Pacifica (joined by divine soprano Sherezade Panthaki), brings you a full feast of music such as would have been enjoyed in a typical Parisian salon of the time: colorful suites and sonatas by Jean-Philippe Rameau and Jean-Marie Leclair, one of Georg Philipp Telemann’s beloved “Paris” quartets, and gorgeous vocal music from Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Frideric Handel, and Louis-Nicolas Clérambault.

Judith Linsenberg, recorder; Ingrid Matthews, violin; Alexa Haynes-Pilon, cello & viola da gamba; Charles Sherman, harpsichord; John Lenti, theorbo
with special guest Sherezade Panthaki, soprano
