Concerto Countdown Chamber Orchestra
Ampersand Vocal Ensemble
Dirk Garner, conductor
Friday, April 17, 7:00 p.m.
Gamble Auditorium, Kulas Musical Arts Building

This evening’s program features Bach’s brilliant concerti for four, three, and two harpsichords—all performed on a single concert with alumni and guest soloists. Because of their unusual scoring for multiple keyboards, these works are rarely heard in live performance, making this an extraordinary opportunity. Between the concerti, the vocal ensemble Ampersand—founded and directed by Baldwin Wallace alumna Madeline Healey—presents works drawn from the holdings of the Riemenschneider Bach Institute. Some of this music may not have been performed since its original debut over 300 years ago, offering audiences a truly historic and inspiring listening experience.
