American Bach Soloists present BACH, HANDEL, AND VIVALDI April 17, 2010

Jeffrey Thomas, Conductor
Guest soloists: Mary Wilson (soprano), Johanna Novom (violin), Corey Jamason (harpsichord)

American Bach Soloists wrap up their 2009-2010 season with a concert featuring virtuoso works by Bach, Handel and Vivaldi. The American Bach Soloists (ABS) is joined by acclaimed guest artists in this season-finale performance of four baroque masterpieces.

Johanna Novom, winner of American Bach Soloists’ 2008 Young Artists Competition, plays Bach’s Concerto in A Minor for Violin. This celebration of baroque masters also features renowned harpsichordist Corey Jamason in Bach’s Concerto in D Minor for Harpsichord. Soprano Mary Wilson, who has earned standing ovations in her performances with ABS, is the featured soloist in Handel’s solo cantata “Delirio amoroso”, and Vivaldi’s pyrotechnical motet, “In furore iustissimae irae.”

A free, pre-concert lecture – “Insights” – by Musical Director Jeffrey Thomas will begin one hour prior to each performance.
