About Duo Amadeus
The refined ensemble work of Duo Amadeus (Elizabeth Blumenstock, violin and Tamara Friedman, fortepiano) results from decades-long collaboration in music of the Classical and early Romantic schools, with Mozart – whose music embraces both tendencies - being their specialty. "I confess that it is her way with Mozart," writes music critic Morton Gold of Tamara Friedman's artistry, "that reaches my heart as well as my intellect ... she realized the drama inherent in the work while being as sensitive and even romantic where the music suggested passion."
About Anacortes Early Music Concert Series
The Anacortes Early Music Concert Series has brought historically informed performances featuring world-renowned musicians and rising stars to Anacortes for over a decade. Historically informed performance (period performance) is an approach in Western music which adheres to the knowledge, as it is currently known, of the instruments and performance practice of the period in which the music was conceived. Access to examples of earlier musical instruments and historical treatises are the basis on which period performance is formed. Instruments corresponding to the period of the music being performed are used, as well as technique and aesthetics of the period. Anacortes Early Music is a project of the Anacortes Arts Foundation.
