VOICES

Get swept away by one of the most popular classical pieces of all time: Bach’s Concerto in D Minor for 2 violins, played by a truly talented TBSO couple, Christopher Stork and Kimberly Durflinger. Thunder Bay Symphony Chorus takes the stage for Bach’s unforgettable cantata “Nach Dir, Herr, verlanget mich”, which translates roughly to “For you, Lord, is my desire.” On top of that, we get to hear a Baroque-inspired contemporary jewel, “Baroque Melting” by Vivian Fung. And it doesn’t stop there! Featuring pieces by Purcell, Gluck, and Rebel, this concert promises to be a wild emotional ride – and a good time!

Purcell – Selections from The Fairy Queen
Bach – Concerto in D minor for two violins – Christopher Stork & Kimberly Durflinger
Vivaldi – La Follia Trio Sonata in D Minor
Fung – Baroque Melting
Rebel – Les Élémens

Christopher Stork, violin

  • Concerts, Music and Dance
  • Tourism

Details:

Start the new year with Mozart Meets Beethoven on Saturday, January 13, 2024 at 7:30 PM at St. Paul’s United Church!

Greet the New Year in style with the music of the immortal composers Mozart and Beethoven, written at the very end of the 18th century! Clarinettist E-Chen Hsu, violinist Katie Stevens, violist Patrick Horn, and cellist Peter Cosbey perform Mozart’s little-known, Clarinet Quartet No. 2 in E flat (an arrangement based on his Violin Sonata No. 28, K. 380, from 18 years earlier!).

Beethoven’s gracious String Trio in G, Op. 9, No. 1 and his playful “Duet with two Obligato Eyeglasses” for viola and cello put the strings into the spotlight. Patrick’s Horn’s short “Tunisian Tango”, arranged by him for this occasion, and “Oblivion”, a nostalgic tango by Astor Piazzolla, also arranged by Patrick, rounds off the evening.

Cost:

$15-$25
