Ludwig van Beethoven — Cello Sonata No. 3 in A major, Op. 69
Franz Schubert — Arpeggione Sonata in A minor, D. 821
Praised for her "playing at a level of deep-seated feeling," Tanya Tomkins, one of the principal violoncellists of San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, makes her first appearance in Anacortes playing with Tamara Friedman. Ms. Friedman will be playing on her richly toned replica of an 1804 Nannette Streicher early Romantic grand piano. This dynamic duo will take you on a musical journey through J.S. Bach's Suite No. 1 in G major for Unaccompanied Cello, BWV 1007; Beethoven's magisterial Cello Sonata in A Major, Op. 69; and Schubert's seldom-heard masterpiece, the Arpeggione Sonata in A minor, D. 821. A unique, "must-hear" concert!
About Anacortes Early Music Concert Series
The Anacortes Early Music Concert Series has brought historically informed performances featuring world-renowned musicians and rising stars to Anacortes for over a decade. Historically informed performance (period performance) is an approach in Western music which adheres to the knowledge, as it is currently known, of the instruments and performance practice of the period in which the music was conceived. Access to examples of earlier musical instruments and historical treatises are the basis on which period performance is formed. Instruments corresponding to the period of the music being performed are used, as well as technique and aesthetics of the period. Anacortes Early Music is a project of the Anacortes Arts Foundation.
