Classical Music At the BAG
Sat. Sept. 25, 8 pm   $20
Presented with the co-operation of Early Music Vancouver.

Mozart for Five
Marc Destrubé is joined by an exceptional gathering of internationally renowned musicians from Canada, the US, England, Italy and Spain to play three rarely-performed masterworks by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, performed on period instruments. Mozart enriched the chamber music literature by adding a second viola part to the existing string quartet, and wrote some of his most deeply expressive chamber music for the combination or two violins, two violas and cello. The ensemble is joined by British natural (valveless) horn master Andrew Clark for a performance of the Horn Quintet, essentially a virtuoso concerto for horn and strings.

 Marc Destrubé (West Vancouver) performs internationally as chamber musician, soloist, and leader of orchestras. He is co-concertmaster of the Orchestra of the 18th Century (Amsterdam), first violinist of the Axelrod String Quartet (Smithsonian Institution) and Microcosmos (Vancouver) and a member of the Turning Point Ensemble (Vancouver)

 Joanna Blendulf (Eugene) studied at the Cleveland Institute and Indiana University, and now performs across North America in chamber music ensembles and as principal cellist of the foremost period instrument ensembles, including Portland Baroque Orchestra, Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra and American Bach Soloists.

 Andrew Clark (London) is one of the world's foremost performers on the natural (valveless) horn and has toured internationally as principal horn of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. He teaches at the Guildhall School and Royal Academy of Music and has recorded extensively, as well as writing books and articles on the natural horn.

 Steve Creswell (Seattle) performs throughout North America, playing both violin and viola in baroque and classical repertoire on period instruments as well as contemporary music. He studied at Indiana University and the Curtis Institute, he now teaches at Seattle University and runs the series Walk to Bach.

 Farran James (Barcelona), a Vancouver native, studied at the Vancouver Academy and at the Julliard School before moving to Europe, where she performs as concertmaster with a number of the foremost period instrument ensembles in Spain and Italy as well as with the Quartet Albada. She also appears with jazz and flamenco ensembles.

 Krishna Nagaraja (Italy) is a versatile musician, appearing as violinist, violist, singer, composer, beatboxer and vocal percussionist. He performs with the foremost period-instrument ensembles in Italy and Spain, as well as appearing with Polverfolk, Krysmynta, Maybe6ix and Coro Accademia Feniarco.
