"TWAS THE FORTNIGHT BEFORE..."

with Stephen Stubbs, lute and guest director; Maxine Eilander, baroque harp; and Carrie Krause, violin.

“Stubbs offers us handsome, superbly-crafted pictures, hung in a small boutique museum.”—Robert Levine

It’s two weeks before Christmas and even the mouse will be stirring, and probably humming along, during this concert. The program includes a concerto for harp (with 2 recorders) by Handel. Maxine will be playing a triple gut string baroque harp (made by Claus Huttel in Germany). Stephen will play a concerto for lute by Vivaldi, and lead the orchestra in other music tuned right into the season.
Music to warm the hearth and the heart.
