The Barbary Coast Recorder orchestra, now in its 12th season, is pleased to announce its 2023 Spring Concert: “Restored!”. Performing on stage for the first time since March, 2020 (mere days before the pandemic lockdown), the orchestra will present a varied program featuring an unusual arrangement of Machaut’s “Ma fin est ma commencement,” the Overture to “The Impresario” by Mozart as well as his “Queen of the Night” aria (Der Holle Rache) from The Magic Flute; the first movement from Beethoven’s “Pastorale” Symphony Nr. 6, a gamelan-inspired piece by Daniel Goode, and more.
Conducting the 25-member orchestra that will play recorders from tiny garklein to giant sub-contrabass, directors Glen Shannon and Greta Haug-Hryciw with guest conductor Tom Bickley will take turns on the podium leading the pieces they selected for this season. When not conducting, they will play in the orchestra and add their voices to the soundscape.
One performance only!
