7. Telemann's Sublime Strings: Carla's Podium

To celebrate PBO’s abundance of talent, each season will now feature a program curated by an orchestra member. First up is our esteemed leader, Carla Moore, in a concert that delves into Georg Philipp Telemann’s vast musical cupboard. We explore a kaleidoscope of textures and styles, from the musings of solo lute to a declamatory overture for the full cohort of strings. Further contrast abounds with French and Italian works by two of Telemann’s likely influencers, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier and Francesco Durante.

• Georg Philipp Telemann Overture-Suite in A Minor for Strings and Basso Continuo
• Joseph Bodin de Boismortier Sonata No. 6 in C Major for Two Violoncellos, Opus 14, No. 6
