Brooklyn Baroque webMelanie Williams ~ flute
Theresa Salomon ~ violin
David Bakamjian ~ violoncello
Rebecca Pechefsky ~ harpsichord

In his autobiography, Telemann recounts his visit to Paris and names the musicians who played his music. This concert will recreate his experience with pieces by Telemann’s colleagues Michel Blavet, Jean-Pierre Guignon, and Jean-Baptiste Forqueray.

Brooklyn Baroque debuted in the fall of 2000, when cellist David Bakamjian joined the long-standing duo of Baroque flutist Andrew Bolotowsky and harpsichordist Rebecca Pechefsky. Remaining core members Rebecca and David now collaborate with the finest early music specialists in the New York area. For this program they are joined by flutist Melanie Williams and violinist Theresa Salomon.
