Feast of Hamburgers: Music from Eighteenth-Century Hamburg

Our 2011-12 Season begins on September 17, 2011.

German Baroque is more than J S Bach in Leipzig, the formidable Hofkapelle in Dresden, or the musical establishments of Frederick the Great in Berlin and Potsdam. Since the seventeenth century the city of Hamburg has held an important place in music and international trade, and in the eighteenth century it became a major music center. This was no doubt the result of composers such as Telemann, Mattheson, and later CPE Bach living there. Even George Frideric Handel worked in Hamburg early in his career, where he gained valuable experience that he would later use as an opera composer. Kim Pineda, August Denhard, Max Fuller, and Bernard Gordillo explore the repast of chamber music by these Hamburger composers. And we are happy to again have the music of Tim Risher on our program. His composition "River" was written for Kim Pineda and was premiered in August 2011 at the National Flute Association's Annual Convention in Charlotte, NC.
