The REMF Gala Concert, hosted by Musica Spei, beckons you back to the sonorous St. Anne Church for an evening of wondrous music and song from the best known Early Music ensembles in Western NY. Emceed by WXXI's Brenda Tremblay, our audience will hear returning favorites Publick Musick, the Eastman Collegium Baroque Orchestra, the Eastman Viol Consort, and Musica Spei. Newcomers to the Gala are Jared Wallis, playing the Baroque Trumpet, and Anne Maria Lim, playing St. Anne’s magnificent organ.
From the opening call of C. Bendinelli’s Tocatta No. 20, played on the baroque trumpet, to the closing notes of G.P. Telemann’s Ouverture Suite: “Les Nations” here is a sampling of what else will be presented at this concert.
