ACRONYM & Josh Cohen: For Whom the Trumpet Tolls
Join us for sublime music of the Baroque featuring Josh Cohen (Baroque trumpet soloist), ACRONYM and soprano Nola Richardson. Hear gems from the 17th and 18th century by some composers you know (Handel and Vivaldi, for example) and some you may not know – including Poglietti and Capricornus.
The cathedral’s lofty space is the perfect acoustic for period trumpet and strings, particularly ACRONYM’s extraordinary continuo section. Discover some of Handel's most beautiful writing for trumpet as well as his delicate handling of the trumpet with solo voice. This program includes pieces from England, Germany and Italy, showcasing each country's contribution to the development of solo trumpet composition during the Baroque period.
