TuneLab:

Experience a delightful evening with the Harvard Baroque Chamber Orchestra, directed by Phoebe Carrai and Sarah Darling. This concert recorded by Mondaymusic's engineer Hannan Du. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff at Memorial Church, the Office for the Arts at Harvard, the Harvard University Music Department, and the generous Friends of Harvard Baroque for their support in making this event possible. The program opens with the Prelude to the first cello suite, BWV 1007, a piece that ascends with a dazzling, celestial effect. Next, the spirited BWV 1060 double harpsichord concerto in C minor transports us to the lively social gatherings of 18th century Leipzig. The poignant "Ich habe genug", BWV 82, explores themes of earthly weariness and divine longing, creating a deeply moving experience. The concert concludes with Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043, a vibrant and intricate display of Bach’s love for Italian concerti. #HarvardBaroqueChamberOrchestra #BaroqueMusic #PhoebeCarrai #SarahDarling #Bach #ClassicalMusic #LiveConcert #CelloSuite #HarpsichordConcerto #Cantata #ViolinConcerto #HannanDu #Mondaymusic #MusicRecording #ClassicalConcert #BaroquePerformance #MusicalMasterpiece ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Video produced by Hannan Du (Jackey) 杜漢男 Monday Music 周一音樂工作室

Indulge in the soul-stirring melodies of "STILL LONGING," a classical music album conceived by baritone Peter Kendall Clark. Together with cellist Tyler Michael James and pianist Jestin Pieper, they engage with timeless themes of loss and longing, in a uniquely moving program of Romantic vocal chamber music. Produced and recorded by Hannan Du of Mondaymusic, on April 20 at The Church of St. James the Less, in Scarsdale, Peter’s hometown church. Clark remarked: “The Parish Hall of St. James The Less has housed performances of me and my family for decades. After my father’s passing in 1998 my mother produced chamber music concerts and art shows here for many seasons. My mother passed in 2022, and coming back to make this album in the place where we have spent so much of our lives with our community feels like a homecoming. Collaborating with my friends Tyler and Jesse on this project has been very powerful. We are pleased to share our renditions of Bernstein, Brahms, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, and Viardot and look forward to our upcoming performances.” Peter Kendall Clark, baritone Tyler Michael James, cellist Jestin Pieper, pianist Producer: Hannan Du Experience the magic of classic music revived and reimagined.

Sarah Kiel, violin Leyla Zeynalova, piano Saturday, April 13, 2024 | 3:00 pm Pickman Concert Hall Curator Note SolIMS WI ATA! This program of early 20th-century British violin music by Elgar, Vaughan Williams, and Coleridge-Taylor is deeply personal to me. English music speaks directly to my heart, it being an unusual mix of reserved introspection, pastoral beauty, and deep emotion under a seemingly tranquil surface. When doing more research on the pieces I selected for this program, I was amazed to learn how well they connect and relate to each other. They were all written in the same WWI decade, before the war and at its very beginning and end. There is also an interesting connection to famous female violinists of the time.
