Soloist Elinor Frey Launches Dorian Baroque's 2015-16 Season with 'THE GALANT VIOLONCELLO PICCOLO' Tonight
By: BWW News Desk Oct. 17, 2015
Dorian Baroque launches the 2015-16 season with an orchestral concert titled The Galant Violoncello Piccolo: Milan to Naples celebrating the late baroque music in the Italian Galante style featuring guest soloist Elinor Frey on the five-string piccolo cello.
Elinor Frey is devoted to the research and performance of lesser known works for the cello and is now taking the early music world by storm with vibrant solo performances as well as with her ensemble, Pallade Musica.
In this program, the Dorian Baroque Orchestra takes on the music of a short period of history in Italy, when composers began to move away from the dense polyphonic textures of the baroque and towards the melody-driven and graceful music of the classical period.
The concert is set for tonight, October 17th, 2015 at 8pm at The Church of the Epiphany, 1393 York Avenue at 74th Street New York, NY 10021. Tickets: $20 General Admission; $10 Students & Seniors. Visit piccolocello.brownpapertickets.com or email music@dorianbaroque.org.
