Musica Antiqua Köln

Coleman is delighted to welcome to the series perhaps today's foremost exponent of baroque chamber music, Musica Antiqua Köln. Founded in 1973 by Reinhard Goebel and fellow students from the Cologne Conservatory, the ensemble signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon's Archiv Produktion in 1978. The resulting wide discography and international performances have achieved "the highest standards of scholarship and diabolically exciting playing." (San Francisco Examiner) For the Pergolesi and Vivaldi works on this performance Musica Antiqua Köln will be joined by soprano Nancy Argenta and contralto Nathalie Stutzmann.
