Tesserae’s Annual Fundraiser: Square Pegs

We so hope you will join us for Tesserae’s eighth annual fundraiser. For this year’s celebration, we would like to acknowledge a few “musical misfits”: pieces that we really, really want – or have wanted — to perform, but which do not fit in with the rest of the season programming.

We begin with Alessandro Scarlatti’s Concerto for Recorder in A Minor, followed by two pieces that each represent unique programming challenges: Marin Marais’ Le Tableau de l’Opération de la Taille – the baroque soundtrack to a bladder-stone removal – and CPE Bach’s Trio Sonata for Bass Recorder and Viola, a piece that still today raises the question: Why?

We conclude on slightly more familiar turf with Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto in D Minor, a piece that has been sitting on the Tesserae wish list for far too long!

The performance will be followed by a delicious reception catered by gingergrass.

Tickets to the fundraiser are $100, with all proceeds helping to support our upcoming season.  You may purchase your tickets here, or RSVP to fundraiser@tesseraebaroque.org and make a donation to Tesserae on the day itself.
