Baroque Sundays at Three
Arthur Haas, Music Director

2008-2009 Concert Season

Baroque Sundays at Three is proud to open its 2007-8 season with New York-based recorder virtuoso, Nina Stern, with percussionist David Buchbut and harpsichordist Arthur Haas in an eclectic mix of classical music from the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods as well as beguiling traditional folk music from Eastern Europe. Featured composers and pieces include sonatas by Frescobaldi and Castello, as well as variations on Greensleaves, and dance music from the English 16th century. This will all be contrasted with haunting melodies and rhythms from Balkan lands.

Nina Stern studied at the famed Schola Cantorum in Basel and taught in Milan at the Civica Scuola di Milano. She is renowned for her recorder and early clarinet mastery as well as her explorations into traditional folk music of Eastern Europe. With the Israeli recorder player, Daphna Mor, she has just issued a CD entitled, East of the River. Percussionist David Buchbut was born to Moroccan parents and studied with some of the world’s finest North African percussion teachers. He performs on different percussion instruments from the Middle East such as the Egyptian Tabla, the Riq (Egyptian tambourine) which is used as the lead percussion in classical Arabic music and the Bandir - a frame drum used in Morocco. They will be joined by harpsichordist Arthur Haas, long known to Stony Brook audiences as the director of the Stony Brook Baroque Players.

Please join us on October 14 at 3PM in the Recital Hall of the Staller Center. As always, Baroque Sundays at Three concerts are offered free of charge to the public with a requested donation to defray concert expenses of $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.
