Galanterie: The Twilight of the Lute
Dabney Hall, Lounge
- Public Event
John Schneiderman, Director
Galanterie features director John Schneiderman on lute, Janet Strauss on violin, and Elisabeth LeGuin on cello. The ensemble specializes in the wonderfully rich and rarely heard 18th-century repertoire for lute and strings. Galanterie performs music by students of the great Silvius Leopold Weiss: Johann Kropffganss and Adam Falckenhagen, as well as works by Viennese masters Franz Joseph Haydn and Karl Kohaut. This unique, beautiful, virtuosic and sometimes quirky literature has one foot in the baroque period and the other in the classical.
The program will feature works of Kohaut, Kropfgans, Hagen, Falckenhagen, and Weiss.
