KONTRAPUNKTUS, the nine-member classical music ensemble returns to performing this January with five performances of “BACH & HANDEL: Soli Deo gloria,” a series of early 18th century musical compositions written “in praise of God alone” by two master composers of the Baroque era. The first concert is slated for this Saturday evening, Jan 7 at 7:30pm at St. Ambrose Church in West Hollywood.
About “BACH & HANDEL: Soli Deo gloria”
KONTRAPUNKTUS’ upcoming five performances of “BACH & HANDEL: Soli Deo gloria” are planned more as events than concerts. Each production is created to make an indelible impression by virtue of the ensemble’s technical execution which strives to bring new life into 18th century masterpieces and turn them into contemporary Baroque treasures.
George Frideric Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach were contemporary German composers who are arguably two of the most influential composers in Western music. “BACH & HANDEL: Soli Deo gloria” musical selections include Handel’s “Admeto Overture” “Trio Sonata in G Minor, HWV 1041,” “Concerto Grosso in G Major, HWV 319,” and Bach’s “Harpsichord Concerto in F Minor, BWV 1056,” “Cello Concerto No. 2 in D Major, BWV 1028,” and “Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Minor, BWV 1041.”
KONTRAPUNKTUS ensemble is led by acclaimed Sphinx Competition First Place Laureate and Concertmaster, Hannah White, and features a world-class chamber ensemble including one of the fastest rising stars in classical music, soloist Aubree Oliverson.
About KONTRAPUNKTUS
Founded in 2015 and based in Long Beach, KONTRAPUNKTUS has emerged from the Los Angeles and Orange County classical music scene as one of the most promisingly robust chamber orchestras that has won the hearts and minds of audiences through Southern California. Featuring some of the finest young musicians from today’s classical world—many graduates of the Colburn School in LA and New York’s Juilliard School—KONTRAPUNKTUS redefines the nature of chamber orchestra in a constantly changing world.
KONTRAPUNKSTUS draws its name from the Latin word for ‘counterpoint,’ a Baroque musical term describing the relationship between two or more musical lines which are harmonically interdependent yet independent in rhythm and melody Tickets are $25 for all performances and are available at EVENTBRITE.
