Freeport Community Library – ScheckMate: Passion & Nostalgia
July 30, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
ScheckMate is Raffael Scheck on Baroque and Romantic Cello & Timothy Burris on Theorbo and Romantic Guitar. Join us on Tuesday, July 30 from 3:00-4:00PM for a live performance of the program Passion & Nostalgia by ScheckMate, featuring pieces that express deep passion, sometimes inward looking and soft, and sometimes exuberant and powerful.
From Antonio Vivaldi’s introspective but happy suite-like g minor cello sonata, we move to the expressive capriccio #8 by Giuseppe Maria Dell’Abaco and to the passionate Bolero and Solea by Spanish guitar composer Julián Arcas (1832-82). In direct response, the program features an homage to Arcas written in 2017 by German cellist and gambist Dietmar Berger and culminates in the nostalgic three nocturnes by German composer Friedrich Burgmüller. The first two pieces are performed on baroque instruments (cello and theorbo, a baroque bass lute). The other pieces use a romantic guitar and a romantic cello.
This event is free and open to the public. For general questions or directions to the library, call 207-865-3307 or visit freeportlibrary.com.
