The second installment of Bach's magnificent concerti includes the well-known, and fiendishly difficult, trumpet solo in Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2. Don't miss the finale of our Chamber Series. Also on the program: Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 and No. 4. The performance will feature Utah Symphony musicians Jeff Luke, Erich Graf, Ralph Matson, Lisa Byrnes and Robert Stephenson. The Brandenburg Concerti is that of alternation, combination and contrast of soloists and orchestra. The program opens with Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, which features a solo group of four instruments; violin, flute, oboe and trumpet with the trumpet acting as the star. Then, the orchestra will present Concerto No. 6; dark and rich, this concerto lacks winds and violins, but features two violas da gamba (a larger viola, held between the knees; the instrument is now obsolete except when used in early music ensembles, and its parts are usually given to cellos). The evening closes with Concerto No. 4; light and graceful, the piece features a thrilling finale. Helpful Information: Student discounts available. Pre-concert lecture presented at 7:15pm in the First Tier reception room.
