Four remarkable musicians from the Handel and Haydn Society explore the most important form of chamber music in the Baroque era: the Trio Sonata (a form that, unexpectedly, requires a minimum of four players!). This program will feature works by three remarkable composers of the era that, while too-seldom performed, are among these composers’ greatest works.
This performance's musicians are: Aisslinn Nosky, violin; Christina Day Martinson, violin; Guy Fishman, cello; Ian Watson, harpsichord.
Friends of Fenway Court Patrons are invited to receive complimentary tickets and join us for a private reception after the concert.
