Sunday Music Series
|
REBEL Ensemble for Baroque Music Rare Treasures of the High Baroque Sunday, November 17th 4 p.m. Hailed by the New York Times as “Sophisticated and Beguiling” and praised by the Los Angeles Times for their “astonishingly vital music-making," the award-winning, New York-based ensemble, REBEL is one of North America’s top-tier ensembles specializing in 17th an 18th century repertoire performed on period instruments. The Chapel performance features Jörg-Michael Schwarz and Karen Marie Marmer, baroque violin, Donsok Shin, harpsichord, and special guest Arnie Tanimoto, viola da gamba, playing music by Johann Adam Reincken, Francois Couperin, Dietrich Buxtehude, Antoine Forqueray and Jean-Féry Rebel. The 4:00 pm concert brings a spirited close to the 2019 Sunday Music Series at the historic Chapel on the banks of the Hudson in Cold Spring. Admission is free and open to all. Donations are suggested. Named after the innovative French Baroque composer Jean-Féry Rebel (1666-1747), REBEL was formed in The Netherlands in 1991 and gave their critically acclaimed American début in New York City in 1992. Since then the ensemble has garnered an impressive international reputation, enchanting diverse audiences with their unique style and their virtuosic, highly expressive and provocative approach to the baroque and classical repertoire. REBEL is regularly featured on the nationally syndicated shows Performance Today and Sunday Baroque. The only period instrument ensemble ever to have been awarded an artists’ residency at National Public Radio, REBEL been featured on BBC’s Radio 3 and has recorded over twenty CDs on Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, Naxos, Dorian, Sono Luminus, ATMA, Hänssler Classic and Bridge Records. The Chapel Restoration is located at 45 Market Street, directly across from the Metro-North Train Station, where parking is free on Sundays. This concert is made possible, in part, through the Putnam Arts Council’s Arts Link Grant Program with public funds from the NYS Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature, a contribution from Marcelline Thomson, Chapel Restoration board member, and with contributions from the public. |
