UVA Baroque Orchestra with Dominic Giardino, clarinet
Germans Abroad
UVA's Baroque Orchestra, David Sariti, Director, welcomes Weber guest Dominic Giardino, historical clarinet on Friday, April 1st at 8:00pm in Old Cabell Hall.
The program, titled "Germans Abroad", features early Classical works by FJ Haydn, CPE Bach, JC Fischer and L Schmitt.
In addition to the concert, there will be an open workshop on Thursday, March 31, 7:00-9:00pm in Old Cabell 113.
The Early Music Ensemble, directed by faculty violinist David Sariti, presents dynamic, vital performances of music from the 17th and 18th centuries with the instruments and performance practices for which it was written, without a conductor. The experience will challenge preconceived notions of music performance, and build musicianship and listening skills. Period instruments at Baroque pitch from the University’s extensive collection are used, and students receive personal instruction on their specific techniques.
