House of Time presents "Telemann and the Italians"

The chamber ensemble House of Time brings Baroque music to life with energetic performances and compelling programs. A period-instrument ensemble of Juilliard faculty and international competition winners, House of Time builds on the successes of its inaugural year, which brought them to the Berkeley Early Music Festival, Early Music Festival: NYC and Bohemian National Hall at The Czech Center New York.

"Telemann and the Italians" brings alive rich and colorful music of seventeenth century Italy, from the exotic and unpredictable Castello, and Vivaldi's stellar predecessor Legrenzi, to the international sensation of Corelli's trios and sonatas. Their music influenced the towering German genius, who wrote many concerti in his day for combinations of instruments, including one for the recorder, oboe, and violin, which will be performed with guest, Martin Bernstein, the young teenager recorder virtuoso.

House of Time ensemble members are: Tatiana Daubek, violin; Gonzalo X. Ruiz, oboe; Beiliang Zhu, viola da gamba and cello; and Avi Stein, harpsichord, each of whom perform on period instruments. Special guests for this concert are Ezra Seltzer, cello; and Martin Bernstein, recorder.
