The Biber Mysteries Project #1

The Red Carpet Concert series at Knox Presbyterian Church presents baroque violinist Andrea Neumann and friends in the first in a series of seven lecture recitals featuring the contemplative and exquisite Mystery Sonatas of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber.

Also known as the Rosary Sonatas, these pieces correspond with events in the life of Mary and Jesus according to the Rosary Prayers in the Roman Catholic tradition. Biber's use of altered tunings, known as "scordatura" was groundbreaking for its time, remains so today, and is a mind-expanding experience for both the performers and the audience. With historical information we'll gain insights into the unique perspective of Biber and his musical reflection of the joyful, the sorrowful and the glorious mysteries. It will be a rare and truly unique opportunity to hear this music performed on historical instruments here in Calgary. Andrea is joined by Andrea Case (baroque cello, gamba), Justin Luchinski (harpsichord & organ), and Ralph Maier (lute, baroque guitar, and theorbo).

* Proof of Vaccination – all attendees twelve years or older will be required to show proof of being fully vaccinated prior to attending.
