The Salish Sea Early Music Festival pays tribute to Hanover, Germany's vibrant early music scene in this program of baroque trio sonatas, solos, and duos with harpsichordist Bernward Lohr, director of Hanover's Musica Alta Ripa, one of Germany's most prominent period instrument ensembles, baroque violinist Anne Röhrig, leader of the Hannoversche Hofkapelle (the "Hanover Court Orchestra"), one of Europe's premier baroque orchestras, and baroque flutist Jeffrey Cohan.
Bernward Lohr and Anne Röhrig are both professors at music conservatories in both Hanover and Nuremburg, Germany. Their more than 30 recordings have garnered awards including the Diapason Dòr, the Cannes Classical Award, the German Recording Critics' Prize, and several times the Echo Klassik. Both were awarded the 2002 Music Award of Lower Saxony.
About the 2016 Salish Sea Early Music Festival
The sixth annual 2016 Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents six diverse programs of early chamber music on period instruments in Seattle with leading early music specialists from Europe, the Pacific Northwest and around the United States at Christ Episcopal Church from January through June.
Performers in the series include harpsichordist Hans-Jürgen Schnoor, who is organist at St. Mary's church in Lübeck, Germany to which Bach walked for days to hear Dietrich Buxtehude, violinist Ingrid Matthews who founded and directed the Seattle Baroque Orchestra, harpsichordist Bernward Lohr and violinist Anne Röhrig who teach at German music conservatories in Hannover and Nuremburg, guitarist Oleg Timofeyev who is one of the world's leading exponents of the Russian 7-string guitar of Beethoven's time, and flutist and artistic director Jeffrey Cohan.
Each program is repeated in nine cities around the Salish Sea from Tacoma to Vancouver, BC in a total of 54 performances. [See full list of performances here.]
