J.S. Bach: excerpts from the Goldberg Variations (transcribed for violin, viola and cello

Program Notes:

Emily Bowman (viola), Stacey Brady (violin) and Sandra Miller (cello), are founding members of the Eldorado String Quartet and have been performing together in the Boulder-Denver area for the past fifteen years.  Equally comfortable on both modern and period instruments, they perform regularly with the Baroque Chamber Orchestra of Colorado and Seicento Baroque, and among other musical organizations on the front range.  This concert will be performed on period-style instruments and features works by Czech composer Samuel Friedrich Capricornus (1628-1665) and Georg Phillip Telemann (1681-1767).  Excerpts from J.S. Bach’s renowned Goldberg Variations will also be on the program.  There will be a brief informal discussion about the merits and challenges (and integrity !) of transcribing Bach’s keyboard work for three separate voices.
