Corelli, Janitsch and J.B. Bach

Feat. EMV’s Baroque Mentorship Orchestra

A digital production available online only, presented by Early Music Vancouver

Alexander Weimann, Music Director, Harpsichord; Chloe Meyers, Violin, Ensemble Mentor; Natalie Mackie, Gamba, Ensemble Mentor; Baroque Mentorship Orchestra

A collaboration between Early Music Vancouver, the UBC School of Music, and the Pacific Baroque Orchestra, the Baroque Orchestra Mentorship Programme gives student and community players the chance to play side by side with experts in historically informed performance. This unique mentorship initiative is designed to foster the next generation of early music performers. Members of the Baroque Mentorship Orchestra reconvened at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts in July, 2020, to record this varied programme of German and Italian instrumental music. Smaller chamber ensembles and the full baroque string orchestra play the music of Arcangelo Corelli, J.G. Janitsch, and J.B. Bach, one of J.S. Bach’s talented cousins.

Access to the concert is free, but donations are greatly appreciated. Concert will remain online one year from premiere date.

Presented in partnership with the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts through the support of the Chan Endowment Fund at the University of British Columbia.
