7:00 PM - 9:00 PM - Twelfth Night: Grand Tour
Violinist Rachell Ellen Wong returns to Cooperstown alongside harpsichordist David Belkovski and cellist Coleman Itzkoff, early music specialists of Twelfth Night, to showcase some of the Baroque era’s most groundbreaking composers. This performance begins with Biber’s dramatic Sonata No. 5 in F major, followed by Bach’s intricate Sonata in A major, where the violin and harpsichord engage in a lively dialogue. Veracini’s Sonata in D minor offers a rich tapestry of emotion, pitting the violin versus the cello. The haunting and technically demanding Devil’s Trill by Tartini takes center stage, in Rachell’s own arrangement for solo violin, which is immediately interrupted by Royer’s lively La Marche des Scythes for solo harpsichord. Closing the program are violinist Leclair’s joyful Tambourin and Corelli’s iconic La Folia, a masterclass in fiery violin ornamentation.
