Weekend I: Chamber and Solo

The festival opens on Saturday, May 12, with Opus 10: Chamber, an “Open Doors,” free-admission concert, with a violin duet by Leclair, trios by Haydn, Telemann and dall’Abaco, the tenth concerto of Couperin’s “Goûts Réunis” and a chamber concerto by Vivaldi. One performance only. The concert takes place at the Arch Street Meeting House at 8:00. Register for free admission online or at the door. Contributions welcome.

The festival’s opening weekend concludes on Sunday, May 13, with Opus 10: Solo, a round-robin recital of solo works featuring our orchestra’s principals—Gwyn Roberts, Emlyn Ngai, Karina Fox, Eve Miller, Richard Stone and Adam Pearl—playing musical 10’s by Bach, Weiss, Frescobaldi and others on recorder, violin, cello, lute and harpsichord. The one performance takes place at the Arch Street Meeting House at 4:00. Tickets and festival passes available online, by mail, by phone or at the door.
