MUSICA PACIFICA CLOSES BOISE CHAMBER MUSIC SEASON
The Boise Chamber Music Society and the Boise State
University department of music present the Baroque ensemble Musica Pacifica for
the final concert of the Boise Chamber Music Series, at 8 p.m. Friday, April 18,
in the Morrison Center Recital Hall.
Last heard in Boise three years ago, the period-instrument
group features recorder virtuoso Judith Linsenberg, violinist Elizabeth
Blumenstock and oboist Gonzalo Ruiz, with cellist David Morris and
harpsichordist Yuko Tanaka on continuo. Musica Pacifica's recordings of Bach,
Marais, Scarlatti, and Mancini on the Virgin/Veritas and Dorian labels have won
both national and international acclaim.
Friday’s concert is titled “Continental Breakfast: A
Smorgasbord of Early Music,” featuring the music of Boismortier, Bach, Matteis,
Paisible, Handel, Corelli, and Vivaldi. The program contains a lot of variety,
with something for the connoisseur as well as the neophyte.
Tickets are $15 general, $10 students of all ages and
seniors. For tickets or additional information, call Jeanne Belfy at 426-1216.
Musica Pacifica will also present “A Little Morning
Music,” a mini-concert and discussion of Baroque performance practice, at
10:30 a.m. Saturday, April 19, in the Morrison Center Recital Hall. This event
is free and open to the public.
