MUSICA MAESTRALE PRESENTS - IN THE MODERN STYLE
The early 17th-century was a very dynamic time for instrumental music in Italy. The older style based on the choral, polyphonic model was starting to give way to a more dramatic, rhetorical, expressive style that was highly influenced by the development of opera. Innovators of this new genre of instrumental music called it the 'Modern Style', and the ideas that were developed at this time eventually led to the establishment of the trio sonata, a form that reached its zenith later in the century by Arcangelo Corelli and others. For this exciting program featuring works by Dario Castello, Biagio Marini, and Giovanni Battista Fontana, Hideki Yamaya and Max Fuller of Musica Maestrale will be joined for the first time by Seattle virtuoso violinists Christine Beckman and Courtney Kuroda.
Hideki Yamaya (theorbo), based in Portland, Oregon, is a lutenist and guitarist who actively teaches and performs all over the West Coast. He has a B.A. in Music and an M.A. in Ethnomusicology from University of California, Santa Cruz, where he studied with Robert Strizich, and an M.F.A. in Guitar and Lute Performance from University of California, Irvine, where he studied with John Schneiderman. In demand both as a soloist and as a continuo/chamber player, Hideki has performed with and for Portland Baroque Orchestra, Portland Opera, Santa Cruz Baroque Festival, Baroque Northwest, Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra, L.A.
