The ensemble’s performances have demonstrated the rich rewards of original instruments and have won raves from critics around the globe: “Authentic baroque performance at its best” (New York Times) and “The performances were by far the most exhilarating examples of baroque playing that these ears have heard” (San Francisco Examiner).
The Aulos Ensemble includes Christopher Krueger (flauto traverso), Marc Schachman (baroque oboe), Linda Quan (baroque violin), Myron Lutzke (baroque cello) and Arthur Haas (harpsichord). For this performance, they will be joined by a 17-piece orchestra of original instruments. They will perform Muffat’s Sonata No. 5 in G Major from Armonico tributo, Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Major, and Handel’s Water Music.
