Francesco Maria Veracini
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Although lesser known today, Italian composer Francesco Maria Veracini was a big star during the first half of the 18th century. We will begin the evening with Veracini's Overture No. 1 in B-flat major, one of a series of six written for the Royal Court of Dresden. Sparkling with wit and virtuosity, we will hear the Musica Antiqua Koln's interpretation of this unfamiliar delight.
Also on the program this evening, we will hear favorite works by Bach, Mozart and Debussy, as well as a violin sonata by Charles Ives. In addition, we'll hear two pieces by Bohuslav Martinu, and workds by Alexander Raskatov, Celedonio Romero and John Adams.
