Sarasin Concert — Very British. Music to be Amused
Musikschule Riehen
Sunday, 31 August
17:00-18:00
British music has experienced highs and lows in European musical history. The "Anglo-Saxon Contenance" significantly influenced 15th-century polyphony. Henry Purcell's originality inspired many subsequent composers, and Benjamin Britten is considered a central figure in 20th-century music.
Under the motto “Fantasia,” oboist Hansjürgen Wäldele, violist Mariana Doughty, violinist Egidius Streiff, and cellist Bernadette Fries Bolli will perform a small selection of outstanding works of British music.
The program will include Henry Purcell’s Fantasia for Viols No. II in F major and Fantasia for Viols No. I in D minor; Ernest John Moeran’s Fantasy Quartet for oboe, violin, viola and cello; and Benjamin Britten’s Six Metamorphoses after Ovid for oboe solo and Fantasy Quartet for oboe, violin, viola and cello.
Entrance is free but there will be a collection.
