Arts on Alexander presents a night of music from Haydn & Beethoven featuring Haydn Symphony No. 104 in D Major (London), Haydn Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major, and Beethoven Symphony No. 1 in C Major.

Under the direction of conductor Mark Dupere, the group explores a wide array of repertoire from early baroque to late romantic, often in collaboration with the Philharmonie Austin Chorus. Philharmonie Austin produces performances that enliven the soul, as the musicians draw on a diverse wealth of knowledge from generations of performance practice research, bringing this into the live performance sphere.

Join the Philharmonie Austin and renowned American cellist Steuart Pincombe as they bring two of history’s greatest composers to the live musical capital of the world!

The plays of William Shakespeare are filled with songs and dances, and the San Antonio Recorder Quartet will present a program exploring the many ways that Shakespeare used music in his plays. Featured performers include soprano Ardi Sanders and harpsichordist Nadia Soree. The San Antonio Recorder Quartet will perform using two different consorts of Renaissance recorders.

Back in the day, Telemann was undisputedly the greatest composer in Germany. There’s a good reason for that. Come hear us perform his exuberant and imaginative sonatas and concertos for flute, oboe, violin, cello, gamba, recorder, and harpsichord, and decide for yourself.

If you still prefer “the other guy” after this concert, well bless your heart.

In this concert, La Follia Austin Baroque explores the challenges and opportunities of performing Bach’s vocal works in English (a practice Bach very well could have approved, being a Lutheran whose teachings emphasized the Word being offered in the vernacular).

La Follia will open with two pieces sung in both German and English. Rev. Nathaniel Biebert, a Lutheran pastor and an expert in Reformation era German, will provide us with unique translations which will demonstrate the surprisingly complex issues surrounding effective English translations.

After this enlightenment, La Follia will perform the greatest arias by Bach for soprano and baritone. La Follia will sing some in English and some in the original German. Discover for yourself how this glorious music best speaks to you.

Gitanjali Mathur, soprano, and Gil Zilkha, baritone/bass are featured.
