THE GAME OF THREES

THE GAME OF THREES

Friday, May 24th | 8 PM

Eastminster United Church (310 Danforth Ave)

DIRECTED BY ADRIAN BUTTERFIELD

The festival will open with The Game of Threes, as we welcome guest violin soloist and leader Adrian Butterfield to our stage. The concert will feature the magnificent Concerto for Three Violins, as well as the Concerto in A minor for solo violin, and will also examine some composers who influenced Bach, including Albinoni and Vivaldi. The concert will conclude with the masterful Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, a work in which Bach takes the concept of a triple concerto to the next level, as he writes for three groups of three instruments (violins, violas, and cellos), each with an independent part.
