EXPLORATIONS SERIES 1
Leçons de Ténèbres: An Easter Reflection
Sunday March 29th, 3.00pm
North Adelaide Baptist Church
Kate Macfarlane soprano
Ben Dollman violin
Thomas Marlin cello
Anne Gardiner harpsichord
Easter is a time for both reflection on the suffering of the Passion story and for joy at the renewal of life. Hear the first of Francois Couperin’s sublime Lecons de Tenebrae written for Holy Week, and widely regarded as the pinnacle of French Baroque vocal writing, alongside Clerambault’s gorgeous ‘Hymne Des Anges’ both featuring the sweet and soaring soprano voice of Kate MacFarlane. As well, arias and cantatas from JS Bach and Johann Pachelbel with violin obbligato – the first a moment of divine repose from the Easter Oratorio, and the second a rarely heard uplifting gem. A selection of baroque masterpieces to bring solace and jubilation.

EXPLORATIONS SERIES 2
Lanzetti ‘after an Easy & Elegant Taste’
Sunday October 11th, 3.00pm
North Adelaide Baptist Church
Thomas Marlin cello
Stephen v der Hoek harpsichord
Salvatore Lanzetti was an Italian cello virtuoso whose works had largely been forgotten until modern times. Brilliantly virtuosic, and yet cellistic, his style contributed to several developments in cello technique, and his cello sonatas are revered today as some.
