The 2015–2016 collaboration between SFEMS and the California Jazz Conservatory concludes this Sunday, April 17, with a performance by the Laudami Ensemble (Laura Rubinstein-Salzedo, violin; Adaiha MacAdam-Somer, cello; Ben Kazez, baritone; Michael Peterson, harpsichord). Entitled L“À Basso Solo,” Laudami’s program will spotlight music for the bass voice, both vocal and instrumental. Laudami promises an exciting performance of music from the French and German Baroque. Featuring baritone singer Ben Kazez and violist da gamba Adaiha MacAdam-Somer, Laudami will perform works by celebrated composers including Bach, Rameau, Buxtehude, LeClair, and others.
The Laudami Ensemble consists of young period instrument specialists dedicated to lively interpretations of music from the Baroque Era. The performers are recent graduates from the Juilliard School and the Royal Conservatory of The Hague.
The CJC, formerly the JAZZSCHOOL, and The San Francisco Early Music Society have established an exciting affiliation that delights both our audience and our local musicians. Early music lovers and jazz music lovers join together to celebrate the improvisational kinship of the two genres. CJC offers a casual and intimate environment where the audience can enjoy a light meal and sip a glass of wine or a cup of coffee while enjoying the concert.
The performance begins at 4:30pm at the California Jazz Conservatory, 2087 Addison Street, Berkeley. Tickets are $20 (general admission) and are available online. Reservations are recommended.
