Faculty/Guest Recital: Joseph Gascho, harpsichord and Julie Andrijeski, violin
Curiosities, natural wonders, antiquities, art—these are the items that filled the wonder chambers, or Wunderkammer, of past centuries. Often displayed in homes of wealthy private collectors, this phenomenon grew out of a humanistic urge to connect with the world at-large, to collect things, catalog them and share them with others. My musical Wonder Chamber Project has similar goals—to bring intriguing music found in rare manuscript collections from the past to contemporary audiences. The vehicle for these Wonder Chamber performances is a nearly 400-year-old violin strung with gut strings that, in tandem with equally appropriate historical keyboards, is perfectly suited to animate and color these works that are truly full of wonder.
Repertoire includes all baroque works, including violin sonatas by Schmelzer, Senaillé, and Duval, and solo harpsichord works by Kerll and François Couperin.
