press release: Italian Baroque Masters with Lisette Kielson, recorder

Holy Wisdom Monastery, Middleton: Oct. 1, Saturday: 7:15 pm lecture/8 pm concert; Oct. 2, Sunday: 2:45 pm lecture/3:30 pm concert

Madison Bach Musicians begins its 19th season on October 1 & 2 at Holy Wisdom Monastery—surrounded by the pied beauty of the autumn prairie—with a dazzling program of works by Italian Baroque Masters. In the early 17th century, Italy emerged at the forefront of a new, bold, and virtuosic instrumental style which established itself as equal partner to traditionally revered vocal music. Instrumental music continued to gain in popularity throughout the 17th century and into the early 18th century and culminated with the matchless masterworks of Corelli and Vivaldi. Our program is a celebration of this remarkable Italian Baroque journey. Please join us for this cornucopia of musical delights!

MBM is delighted that recorder virtuoso Lisette Kielson will join the band for the Turini, Falconieri, and Uccellini selections and that she will be the featured soloist for the irrepressible Vivaldi Concerto in C major. Lisette Kielson has been described by the press as “sparkling with life” and “performing with true character and style.” She has had the honor and pleasure of performing at Bach festivals, college artist series, and with Lyric Opera of Chicago, Chicago Opera Theater, Haymarket Opera Company, Music of the Baroque, and Chicago’s Bach Week Festival. She is past President of the American Recorder Society and has released recordings of Bach and Boismortier with Centaur Records as well as CDs under her own label, L’Ensemble Portique.

Lisette Kielson–RECORDER, Kangwon Kim & Nathan Giglierano–VIOLINS, Micah Behr–VIOLA; James Waldo–CELLO, Trevor Stephenson–HARPSICHORD, Brandon Acker–THEORBO & GUITAR
