Barefoot Chamber Concerts (“an enterprise noted for both its quality and informality” – San Francisco Classical Voice) presents really good music in the right acoustic and without the formality of most classical music events.
Barefoot’s April concert features an unusual first for Barefoot: music for trumpet and violin with continuo.
There’s a reason people love trumpet music, and it’s particularly fabulous when it’s also chamber music! In this unusual but serendipitous concert local Bay Area musicians Dominic Favia, Cynthia Black, Derek Tam, and Erik Andersen present a 17th-century European tour of music inspired by and written for the trumpet. From a solo sonata by Girolamo Fantini to the more elusive sonatas for violin and trumpet by Gottfried Finger, you might even get to hear a bit of Biber! All of this in the lovely acoustic of the Parish Hall (Magdalen Hall) of St. Mary Magdalen Church in Berkeley.
