Kaufman Music Center – Music Speaks: Ohrwurm – Tabea Debus, recorder & Paul Morton, theorbo, lute at Merkin Hall

Described by The Times as a charismatic virtuoso, recorder player Tabea Debus is constantly exploring the horizons of music for recorder and has performed widely across Europe, Asia, Colombia and the USA. Ohrwurm explores how tunes and dances wormed their way into many aspects of music-making in 17th and 18th-century Europe and, in traversing the centuries, contemporary compositions testify to the earworms secured place in modern life.PROGRAMCiaconna MedleyAfter various Italian composers including Antonio Bertali (1605-1669), Tarquinio Merula (1595-1665) and Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643)(arr.
