SUMMARY:St. Lawrence String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Franz Josef Haydn (1732-1809) is rightfully acknowledged as the “father” of the string quartet. He conceived the ensemble and the musical approach in a way that still serves as both a foundation and a point of departure today. And yet\, Haydn is too often regarded as an opening act; pleasant appetizer music before the main course of a concert program. The St. Lawrence String Quartet\, the current ensemble-in-residence at Stanford University\, proposes a fresh look at that musical menu. In The Haydn Discovery Experience\, first violinist Geoff Nuttall and his ensemble colleagues will reveal Haydn’s genius in an active-listening journey filled with history and musical insights focused on the Quartet in G minor\, Opus 20\, No. 3 that will prepare you for a close listen to a performance that was beautifully captured at Stanford’s Bing Hall. This special engagement serves as their third “visit” to Purdue\, and comes directly on the heels of their 30th anniversary season and the release of their new “in-your-face exhilarating” (Los Angeles Times) recording featuring all six of the Haydn Opus 20 quartets. \nCLICK FOR PROGRAM NOTES\nProgram\nString Quartet in G minor\, Op.20\, No.3 (1772)\nAllegro con spirito\nMenuetto: Allegretto\nPoco Adagio\n Allegro di molto \n  \n

SUMMARY:Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin
DESCRIPTION:“The ensemble is superb—it’s as much fun to watch these performers listen to one another as it is to hear them play.” — Boston Globe \nBaroque music is a deep\, vast treasure chest of astonishing virtuosity. On its sixth tour of the United States\, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin—or Akamus—is letting stateside audiences in on Secrets of the Baroque. Founded in 1982\, the Grammy®️-winning Akamus is among the world’s leading chamber orchestras. This program features lesser-known works by major names like Antonio Vivaldi (an extravagant\, bizarre La Stravaganza concerto)\, George Handel (an operatic\, dramatic Concerto Grosso selection)\, C.P.E. Bach (an oboe concerto) and Georg Philipp Telemann (the internationally influenced Sinfonia Melodica). It also features such nearly forgotten composers as Francesco Maria Veracini\, Alessandro Scarlatti and Dutch nobleman Unico Wilhelm von Wassenaer—no end of baroque riches repurposed\, ripe for joyous rediscovery. \nPROGRAM\nVeracini: Overture No. 6 in Gm \nVan Wassenaer: Concerto Armonico No. 5 in Fm CPE \nBach: Oboe Concerto in B-Flat Major\, Wq. 164 \nIntermission\nTelemann: Sinfonia Melodica\, TWV 50:2 \nA. Scarlatti: Concerto Grosso No. 5 in Dm \nVivaldi: Concerto for violin in Dm\, Op. 4\, No. 8\, RV 249 \nHandel: Concerto Grosso in Dm\, Op. 3\, No. 5\, HWV 316 \nPRE-SHOW TALK | 6:30PM | Stew 310\nJoin musicologist Dr. Daniel Guberman for discussion about the evening’s performance.
