LAST BLASTS!
Career Capstones G.P. Telemann & C.P.E. Bach
C.P.E. Bach: Concerto Doppio Wq. 47
for Harpsichord and Fortepiano
Soloists: Michael Sponseller, Harpsichord

Franz Xaver Richter: Adagio und Fugue g moll
The tantalizing Concerto Doppio for Harpsichord and Fortepiano (1788) may have been Emmanuel Bach's final composition, having died in the same year at the age of 74. Telemann's vocal masterpiece Ino (1765) was composed two years before his death at the age of 84, and its premiere was likely led by C.P.E Bach (the elder composer’s godson!)

LOVE AND REVOLUTION The Invention of Modern Music
Madrigals of Claudio Monteverdi & Sigismondo D'India
A collaboration with GRAMMY award-winning lutenist and conductor Stephen Stubbs, Claudio Monteverdi’s music broke the rules of Renaissance polyphony and created the foundations of modern music. Like Shakespeare, Monteverdi’s genius lay in his ability to communicate the full compass of human emotions, especially the most mysterious, tragic, and magical of them all – love.
