Little Gems Virtual Concert Series – Past Concerts

A jukebox of short excerpts from violin repertoire; catchy and memorable tunes you can wash your hands to! Will include pieces by women and POC.

Violinist Kirill Polyanskiy gives a livestreamed performance of Eventyrsuite by composer Bjarne Brustad (1895-1978).

The instrument is the guitar and the theme is "renewal" – from songs from the 1200s, to simple studies for the guitar from the 19th century, to little gems of the 20th century. Music by Francesco Corbeatta, Mauro Giuliani, Paul Simon, J.S. Bach, and Mark Hilliard Wilson.

Gus Denhard performs on a fretless lute that might have been familiar to musicians in medieval Europe, Al Andalus, the Middle East, and China. He'll improvise and perform repertoire in a variety of styles.

Seattle pianist Colin Wood performs a living-room concert of music by Henri Ravina, Joseph Haydn, and more.

Marimbist Erin Jorgensen performs a Bach cello suite on her 5-octave marimba, plus a couple of short poppier selections. Take a break from the news and enjoy being in (virtual) community with other folks in the same boat.
