Winter Baroque 2024

Newburyport Chamber Music Festival presents “Winter Baroque”
Sunday, December 22nd at 3:00 PM
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 166 High St. Newburyport, MA

The Winter Baroque concert brings back firecracker violinist Nurit Pacht with her high-octane charisma alongside Cynthia Roberts' earnest and nuanced music-making. Cellist Eliana Razzino Yang is back, and Italian harpsichord player Nicola Canzano, hand-picked by Julliard faculty Cynthia, fills out the continuo section. Alessandra Yang, fresh from Juilliard pre-college and now at a conservatory in Vienna studying viola, will join her sister on stage.

The Winter Baroque program this year contains familiar classics and beloved "chestnuts" - musical comfort food: Bach's beloved Double Violin Concerto in D Minor, and his solo cello suite No. 3 in B Minor, Vivaldi's "La Folia" and his remarkable triple concerto for two violins and cello "L'Estro Armonico," Concerto Grosso in B Minor by George Frideric Handel, a novelty work by Marin Marais' Le Tableau de l'Opération de la Taille,' and a little surprise at the end of the concert.

Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door, and free to students and EBT cardholders (ID required). For more information, visit newburyportchambermusic.org.

The Newburyport Chamber Music Festival continues to bring world-class musicians to the Greater Newburyport community. It brings the finest classical music and innovative new compositions by contemporary composers featuring poetry and prose. We believe by reaching out to and including everyone in our community, we can all experience the thrill, magic, and exhilaration that outstanding music brings.

German has great words, and for angsty terms, it is unsurpassed. Let’s take a look at one of my favorite German words: Weltschmerz.
