The Dutch Masters Return
Four international early-music stars--Wilbert Hazelzet, baroque flute, Marc Destrubé, baroque violin, Margriet Tindemans, viola da gamba, Jacques Ogg, harpsichord--explore the range and variety of the highly individual music of Carl Philipp Emanual Bach, Johann Sebastian's most gifted son whose works were so beloved by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. This concert is part of the worldwide celebration of the composer's 300th Birthday.
The Dutch Masters will perform the following works, composed for the court of King Frederick the Great at Sanssouci Palace near Berlin (see photo):
Trio in B minor for ute, violin and basso continuo, Wq. 143
Sonata in G major for ute and basso continuo, Wq. 134
Sonata in B minor for harpsichord and violin Wq. 76
Trio in A major for ute, violin, and basso continuo, Wq. 146
Sonata in D major for harpsichord and ute, Wq. 83
Trio in D minor for ute, violin, and basso continuo, Wq. 145
This unique event is part of Gallery Concerts' 25th Anniversary Season of innovative concerts presented with time-traveling historic instruments in an intimate, acoustically rich setting.
For the pre-concert "Event" 45 minutes prior to the concert, George Bozarth, Artistic Director of Gallery Concerts and Professor of Music History at the University of Washington, will discuss the nature of C.P.E. Bach's quirky and engaging style.
About the Players
Wilbert Hazelzet has dedicated himself since 1970 exclusively to the baroque flauto traverso. He studied the ancient instrumental techniques and the performance of the music from the 18th century according to contemporary treatises about flute playing and singing. Considered by many as the world's leading baroque flute player, in 1978 he became a member of Musica Antiqua Köln, and with this world-famous ensemble he appeared in Japan, India, China, the USA, Canada, and all over Europe, from Finland to Portugal and from Ireland to Russia. He now forms permanent duos with harpsichordist Jacques Ogg and with lutenist Konrad Junghänel. He is the first flautist of Ton Koopman's Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, has appeared for numerous radio and TV stations across the world and has recorded for several companies such as DGG, Erato, Harmonia Mundi, and, in recent years, Glossa. Wilbert Hazelzet is a Professor at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague.
Canadian violinist Marc Destrubé enjoys a diverse international career on historical and modern violins, performing as soloist, chamber musician, concertmaster or director. He is co-concertmaster of Frans Brüggen's Orchestra of the 18th Century (Amsterdam) and first violinist of the Axelrod String Quartet in residence at the Smithsonian Institutionwhere the quartet plays on the museum's exceptional collection of Stradivari and Amati instrumentsand of the recently formed Vancouver quartet Microcosmos. He is also a member of the Turning Point Ensemble, and appears regularly as guest director and soloist with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Lyra Baroque Orchestra, and other orchestras in Canada and the US. Marc serves as artistic director of the Pacific Baroque Festival (Victoria), artistic advisor to the New York ensemble Dorian Baroque, and appears regularly in chamber music performances for Early Music Vancouver. A highly respected teacher, Marc has been a visiting artist at the Paris, Utrecht and Moscow Conservatories, the Banff Centre, University of Indiana, and Case Western University. He is on the faculty of the Baroque Performance Institute at Oberlin College and co-director (with Jacques Ogg) of Early Music Vancouver's Baroque Instrumental Program.
Margriet Tindemans has performed, recorded, and taught early music on four continents. As a student of Wieland Kuiyken, she was awarded the Prix d'Excellence with honors for viola da gamba. A Grammy Nominee, she has been called "a national treasure" and "a channel through which pure music comes without any distortion." A player of early stringed instruments, from the medieval fiddle and rebec to baroque viola and viola da gamba, she has been a frequent guest soloist with such leading ensembles as the Folger Consort, Tragicomedia, and the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. She has been a member of the ensembles Sequentia and Medieval Strings. She regularly performs with the Seattle Baroque Orchestra and Pacific MusicWorks, and in duo with Shira Kammen. Their CD, Dawn of Joy, was released in November 2010. Margriet has appeared with both the Seattle Opera and the National Dutch Opera in Amsterdam. She directs the Medieval Women's Choir of Seattle and works closely with the Northwest Puppet Center, for whom she has arranged and directed many operas, including Mozart's The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni. Margriet maintains a busy private studio and is a much sought-after director and teacher at workshops. Her recordings for Harmonia Mundi, Erato, Wildboar, BMG, EMI, Smithsonian Collection, and Koch span the centuries, from the music of the medieval German mystic Hildegard von Bingen to works by contemporary composers.
Jacques Ogg performs on both harpsichord and fortepiano. He teaches at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Born in Maastricht, he studied harpsichord in the city of his birth with Anneke Uittenbosch. In 1970 he went to study with Gustav Leonhardt at the Amsterdam Conservatory, from which he graduated in 1974. Jacques's current activities include solo concerts on harpsichord and fortepiano, and concerts with flautist Wilbert Hazelzet as a duo as well as a trio-formation with Jaap ter Linden. He has been a member of the Orchestra of the 18th Century and has performed regularly with Concerto Palatino. He is frequently invited for master classes, for instance in Curitiba (Brazil), Vancouver (Canada), Buenos Aires (Argentina), in Mateus (Portugal), Salamanca (Spain) as well as in Cracow (Poland), Prague, and Budapest. Jacques Ogg is artistic director of the Lyra Baroque Orchestra in Minneapolis/Saint Paul (Minnesota).
