On Saturday, Sept. 17, 7:30 pm, La Grande Bande will perform “Sonatas from Bohemia and Poland” at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 1621 University Ave. NE. This program highlights music written by some of Eastern Europe’s most prominent composers. With works by Czech and Polish composers, this program showcases some of the virtuosic sonatas, artfully crafted fugues, and chamber works written in the era’s most popular and fantastic style, the stylus phantasticus. While several composers on this program gained fame while working for the Hapsburg court in Vienna, like Benda and Biber, none of them lost their Polish or Czech roots. This program features violinists Tsutomu “Will” Copeland & Theresa Elliott, viola da gambist Maryne Mossey, and LGB’s Music & Artistic Director Michael Thomas Asmus on harpsichord.
