Greetings Neighbors,
Ensemble La Bernardinia, will present a program entitled
"Ratatouille" A unique blend of 17th and 18th century music from the
British Isles, the German Lands, the French Empire, and Baroque Italy
with works for recorder, viola da gamba, and harpsichord.
La Bernardinia Baroque Ensemble is one of the most recent additions
to Philadelphia's vibrant early music scene. Performing on copies of
period instruments, the group specializes in chamber music from
1600-1750 presenting engaging programs with an intimate and rich
sonority. While the core ensemble consists of Rainer Beckmann,
recorder; Donna Fournier, viola da gamba; and Marcia Kravis,
harpsichord, guest musicians are invited on a regular basis to
explore the extensive, varied repertoire of Baroque chamber
music. During the <http://www.bernardinia.org/2010-11>2010-2011
Concert Series the ensemble is joined by Rebecca Harris, baroque
violin. The group's name itself refers to the title of a piece by
Italian composer Girolamo Frescobaldi that La Bernardinia performed
on their debut program.
