[Bph-announce] The Baroque Players of Hamilton presents...

[Michael Jarvis]

The next BPH concert takes place this weekend: Sunday, February 1,
2004 at at 3 pm at St. Joseph's Church (Locke and Herkimer Streets in
Hamilton).

"A Woman Scorned" features two wonderful Italian cantatas by
Handel: "Armida Abbandonata" and "Tu fedel? Tu Costante?" These two
canatas are slightly unusual for the baroque period in that they tell the
story from the woman's point-of-view; both cantatas deal with the problem
of unfaithful lovers, with lots of passion, fire and vengeance! We will
also feature Handel's exquisite Trio Sonata in G major, op. 5, no. 4

Carolyn Sinclair is the soprano; she will be joined by baroque violinists
Rona Goldensher and Julia Wedman; as well as Margaret Gay, baroque 'cello
and Michael Jarvis, harpsichord.

Tickets are $20 general admission; $15 students/seniors; $10 children
under twelve, and are available by calling 905-523-1602, or at the
door.

Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,
Michael Jarvis
