Boeckman & Bach: Queen Anne Concerts An Offering of Musique du Jour Presents!
TICKETS will also be available at the BOX OFFICE.
BOECKMAN & BACH
Discover the unique sounds of Bach's favorite Lautenwerck (a gut-strung harpsichord) as Seattle's own recorder virtuoso Vicki Boeckman and mesmerizing historical keyboardist Tamara Friedman explore solo and chamber music of Johann Sebastian Bach as well as two delightful Fantasies for unaccompanied recorder by Bach's friend Georg Philipp Telemann and three sparkling sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti.
This concert is presented in the intimate, acoustically rich Queen Anne Christian Church, atop scenic Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, WA.
ABOUT THE LAUTENWERCK
A Lautenwerck or lute-harpsichord differs from the harpsichord in that it has gut rather than metal strings, and therefore is a mellower instrument, closer to the sound of a lute and ideal for playing with recorders. Our instrument has two 8-foot stops - achieved by plucking the string at different points along its length - and one 4-foot stop, which plays brightly an octave higher. Johann Sebastian Bach aided in the creation of the Lautenwerck and, at the time of his death, owned two of them.
ABOUT THE MUSICIANS
Vicki Boeckman is an active and passionate performer of all styles of music and plays all sizes of recorders. Her travels and performances have taken her across the United States as well as Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, England, Scotland, and Germany. In the Pacific Northwest, she is a returning soloist with the Seattle Baroque Orchestra and has performed with the Portland Baroque Orchestra, Portland Opera, and the Philharmonia Northwest Orchestra. She is a regular guest with the Medieval Women's Choirs and the Gallery Concerts Series.
In great demand as a teacher of the recorder and related performance practices, Vicki coaches and teaches at workshops and seminars all over the United States and in British Columbia. She taught at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen for twelve years, and at the Ishøj Municipal School of Music for twenty-three years. She co-founded a regional recorder youth orchestra that continues to flourish and grow in Denmark. Her students from the Royal Academy are all now professional performers and teachers passing on the tradition. She was the recorder-in-resident at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology in 2005 and 2010. She is the new Artistic Director of the Port Townsend Early Music Workshop and is the Music Director of the Portland Recorder Society. Vicki has been on the faculty of the Music Center of the Northwest in Seattle since 2005, and with her colleague, Darlene Franz, is the resident recorder teacher for the third-grade recorder program at West Woodland Elementary School. She was also on the faculty for the early music program at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle.
Vicki was also co-founder of two Danish-based ensembles: Opus 4 and WoodNFlutes and continues to perform with both of these ensembles as often as she can in spite of the geography.

Pianist TAMARA FRIEDMAN, praised for the depth, wit, and humor of her performances (Seattle Times), attended the Oberlin Conservatory and received her master's degree from the Mannes College of Music (NYC). She has collaborated with such artists as Stanley Ritchie, Jaap Schröder, and Max van Egmond, and appears with violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock as Duo Amadeus. In the Pacific Northwest she has performed on the Seattle Camerata, Allegro Baroque and Beyond, Belle Arte, Early Music Guild, Gallery Concerts, and Mostly Nordic series and for the Governors Chamber Music Festival.
Tamara has been the featured performer in early piano workshops for Pacific Lutheran University (Tacoma, WA) and the Western Early Keyboard Association, and maintains a private studio in Seattle, where she teaches modern piano and fortepiano on her collection of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century keyboard instruments, which is on display at SEKM - the Skagit Early Keyboard Collection. She spends her summers in Bath, Maine, where she also has a group of historic pianos and performs on the Kennebec Early Music Festival.
