The Sarasa Ensemble presents "French New Wave Baroque" on Thursday, Jan. 11, at the Brattleboro Music Center.
The 7 p.m. concert will feature Ashley Solomon, flute; Susanna Ogata, violin; Jennifer Morsches, piccolo cello; Timothy Merton, cello; and John McKean, harpsichord.
The "nouvelle vague" of French Baroque music heralded a wealth of chamber music from the likes of Couperin, Jacquet de la Guerre, Mondonville, and others. According to the BMC's news release, "Telemann caught the wave with great panache, resulting in his gorgeous set of 'Nouveaux Quatuors Parisiens' for flute, violin, viola da gamba, cello and harpsichord."
The Sarasa Ensemble is a collective group of international instrumentalists and vocalists who perform classical music of outstanding quality, spanning the 17th to the 21st centuries, on both period and modern instruments, and bring this music to diverse communities.
Tickets are $20 general admission in advance, or $25 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased through the BMC website at bmcvt.org or by calling 802-257-4523.
