— Monday eve, February 20, 2023 at 7:00 PM:
• Early 19th-Century Biedermeier Serenades (1805-1830) •
with Oleg Timofeyev (7-string guitar), Lindsey Strand-Polyak
(viola), and Jeffrey Cohan (8-keyed flute)
**St. Luke's Memorial Episcopal Church
3615 North Gove Street in Tacoma
— suggested donation $20 or $25 (a free will offering; pay as you wish)
✷ ✣ ✷ ✣ ✷ ✣ ✷
Oleg Timofeyev, Lindsey Strand-Polyak and Jeffrey Cohan will perform
early 19th-century trios for flute, viola and guitar mostly
representative of the early 19th-century Biedermeier period by Austrian
guitarist Matiegka, German flutist Kummer, Italian guitarist Molino and
French flutist Devienne, on an antique flute and guitar, both made in
1820 in London and Russia, and an English viola from 1850 that had been
around for 70 years or so, but with a "modern" bow typical of those of 1820.
The early 19th-century Biedermeier period generated styles in music,
architecture and the other arts that reflected the growing urbanization
and industrialization during a period of political stability in central
Europe, which fostered an increased appreciation for the arts by the new
urban middle class audience, alongside a hunger for furniture design,
interior decorating and a flood of output by composers that fulfilled a
burgeoning desire for in-home music making. One sonority that became
popular was the combination of flute, viola and guitar (we possess about
35 trios for this combination from this period but only one or two for
flute, violin and guitar), which is also represented by a similar trio
of instruments in the early 20th century with Debussy’s Trio for flute
and viola with harp, and around 1700 at the court of Louis XIV with
Suites by many composers for viola da gamba and either guitar or lute
with the flute of that day.
Please join us on Monday evening for music for this splendid combination
of instruments reminiscent of Mozart (Devienne), Beethoven (Kummer) and
plenty in between at St. Luke's Memorial Episcopal Church.
