VIOLIN FANTASY: Tracing the Path from Biber to Bach

Presented by Apollo's Fire at St. Paul's Episcopal Church

Alan Choo, violin & co-director
Jeannette Sorrell, harpsichord & co-director
Rebecca Myers, soprano
Elisa Sutherland, mezzo-soprano

Inspired by the early baroque tradition of Stylus fantasticus (the “fantastic style”), J.S. Bach and his predecessors infused their music with virtuosity and daring improvisation. Alan Choo, Jeannette Sorrell, and 8 friends on strings and plucked instruments trace the path of composers who influenced Bach – including Buxtehude, Biber, Pachelbel, Weiss, Reinken, and Pergolesi – and present Bach’s own glowing transcriptions of works by these colleagues.
