The Tempesta di Mare Chamber Players will perform at a free concert at Penn State Abington on Feb. 5 at 7:00 p.m.
ABINGTON, Pa. — Penn State Abington welcomes the public to attend a free concert featuring the Tempesta di Mare Chamber Players on Wednesday, Feb. 5, at 7 p.m. This unique Baroque program will feature the mellow woodiness of the flute, the tannic sweetness of the viola gamba, and the bright effervescence of the lute highlighting masterpieces by Bach, Couperin and Marais. The concert will be held in the Sutherland Auditorium at Penn State Abington, 1600 Woodland Road, Abington, Pennsylvania.
The ensemble is comprised of section principals from Philadelphia Baroque Orchestra Tempesta di Mare. They perform on "Baroque" instruments — originals and modern copies — set up as they were in the 17th and 18th centuries, re-creating the sounds that the composers had in mind.
