Buxtehude — The Italian Influence in Northern Germany

Tesserae Baroque is delighted to return to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo as the resident ensemble of Bach Week! In the Festival Chamber  program, Tesserae and festival bass John Buffett will explore works by Buxtehude and his contemporaries alongside selected early Italian works — which in turn had a profound influence on the early German style. Featuring vocal cantatas alongside virtuosic instrumental works, this program traces the thread between the early Baroque style and the music of J.S. Bach.
