Bach & Telemann: French Finesse

An intimate evening of French-inspired chamber music for gamba, violin, flute, and harpsichord.

Telemann and Bach, two esteemed German composers and friends, draw inspiration from the sonic richness and rhythmic nuance of the French style, infusing this program with a unique vibrancy.
