Baroque Music Week begins today
Print Edition
THE 6th Baroque Music Week will run at the Music Middle School Affiliated to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music from today through Saturday.
It will include 50 master classes, seven themed lectures, one headmaster forum and five concerts.
This year’s theme is “Innovation, Cooperation and Development.” The opening and closing concerts will be open to the public for the first time.
Initiated in 2010, Baroque Music Week aims to arouse more interest among students in chamber music, which emphasizes collaboration rather than individual technique.
“It seems to be a universal problem among Chinese music students today that becoming a soloist is their only goal. We think being exposed to more beautiful top chamber pieces, which emphasize collaboration, will broaden their views,” says Diao Xiaoying, deputy secretary of Music Middle School Affiliated to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
Guest lecturers will give performances tonight. They include harpsichordist Lisa Goode Crawford, violinist Johannes Pramsohler, Baroque oboist Christopher Palameta, as well as cellist and viola da gambist Eric Tinkerhess.
Tonight’s concert will include Bach’s “Sonata for Violin and Continuo in E minor,” Handel’s “Trio Sonata VIII in G minor,” and Telemann’s “Sonata for Oboe, Violin and Viola da Gamba in G minor.”
Students of eight music schools in China and the Ehingen Music School of Germany will perform the closing concert on Saturday.
It will feature a number of light programs like saxophone pieces “The Muppet Show Theme” and “The Pink Panther,” as well as symphonic work “The Magnificent Seven.”
