Soloist Steuart Pincombe (baroque cello) joins Madison Bach Musicians for this innovative concert–an exploration of fugues and imitation from Bach and Vivaldi, two masters of the Baroque! The concert itself is structured much like a fugue. Starting from a single voice, selections alternate between pieces by Vivaldi and by Bach―with each new section of the concert requiring an additional performer. It culminates with the entire ensemble performing Vivaldi’s D minor Concerto Grosso alongside a string arrangement of Bach’s own transcription of the same piece!

Lecture by Artistic Director Trevor Stevenson 45 minutes before concert.
