Former UIndy Music Department chair and current IndyBaroque, Inc., chair Jo Ann Domb, on behalf of the Board and all the players of the orchestra, welcomes Baroque period instruments fans, both old and new, to the IBO’s 2008–09 concert season. Allison Edberg, principal violinist, is both leader and soloist in this program. Le s N a t i o n s Monday, February 23, 7:30 p.m. Internationally acclaimed Baroque flutist and conductor Barthold Kuijken, the IBO’s new artistic director, leads the orchestra in a program of music from the four principal nations of Baroque music: Italy (represented in “Les Nations” by the music of Corelli), France (Rebel and Campra), Germany (Handel), and England (Purcell). Kuijken himself resides in Belgium and teaches there and in the Netherlands. In a world of civil and political turmoil, join the IBO as it joins those voices singing the praises of international harmony. B a c h P ro j e c t Monday, April 20, 7:30 p.m. Johann Sebastian Bach has long been considered the greatest of all Baroque composers, and the IBO, together with its IndyBaroque, Inc. partner Ensemble Voltaire, has been undertaking an annual “Bach Project” for several years. The project’s director is Baroque oboist John Abberger, a member of both Ensemble Voltaire and Tafelmusik, Toronto’s Baroque orchestra. In the Bach Project, Abberger’s vision is to recreate the original performance practice of Bach’s music, which in most cases means one singer and one instrument to a part. This installment features cantatas as well as instrumental compositions. arts.uindy.edu paGe twenty-three http://arts.uindy.edu
