Semper Fantasticus explores that most avant-garde mode of music-making among German composers of the 17th and early 18th centuries, with extravagant works for violin, viola da gamba, and harpsichord. All three instruments are featured individually and in combination on this program, in sonatas by Dietrich Buxtehude and Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, two of best-knownexponents of the “fantastical style,” alongside free works by Antonio Bertali, Michelangelo Rossi, August Kerzinger, and Philipp Heinrich Erlebach.

The concert will be followed by a reception at St. Philip Presbyterian Church.

Concert is free, donations encouraged.
