Uncommon Temperament
Uncommon Temperament This group of young virtuoso players is dedicated to a historically accurate, yet wild and organic approach. They will perform George Frideric Hanel’s "Mi Palpita il Cor" HWV 132b (oboe obbligato Italian cantata), and Trio Sonata HWV 391.
Soloists from the Clarion Music Society Music from the Court of Catherine the Great Although Russia is usually associated with the great Romantic music of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Rachmaninoff, the second half of the 18th century was also a ‘golden age’ of Russian music, fostered by Catherine the Great (reigned 1762 – 1796). This wonderful yet unknown repertoire is a specialty of Clarion’s Music Director Steven Fox, and their program includes many first editions prepared by him from manuscripts found in archives across Russia and Europe.

East of the River
East of the River Virtuoso recorder players Nina Stern and Daphna Mor and joined by accordionist Uri Sharlin, and Yo Yo Ma's "Silk Road Ensemble" percussionist Shane Shanahan. Their program travels from Medieval Armenian chant to 14th century Italy to a composition by the 18th century Armenian composer Sayat-Nova. This group bridges the gap between early and world music in new and exciting ways.
