This event features two remarkable performers. Derick Nichols will perform solo organ works of Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726) and other Spanish and Portuguese composers residing in colonial Latin America as well as contemporaneous works from Spain. And guitarist Brian Torosian will present works from 17th and 18th century Latin America and Spain. Most interesting, you will hear the influence of the "old world" on the "new world," and vice versa, since during the 17th century, priests and missionaries taught European music to American Indian and African musicians.

The chamber compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach are infrequently performed as a complete program unto themselves.  At this event you will have the chance, in a way, to hear this repertoire in the context of their 18th century environment. Featured will be the Sonata in G Minor for viola da gamba and harpsichord (BWV 1029), the Violin Sonata in E Major (BWV 1016, the Harpsichord Concerto in A Major (BWV 1055), and more.
