WILLIAMSTOWN - The New England Baroque Soloists will perform on Friday, April 4, at 8 p.m. in Chapin Hall on the Williams College campus. This free event is sponsored by the W. Ford Schumann '50 Performing Arts Endowment and is open to the public.

This evening’s concert will include J.S.Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto #5 and #2; Telemann’s Overture from Tafelmusik III; the second movement of Marcello’s Oboe Concerto with ornamentation by J. S. Bach; Handel’s Concerto for 2 Horns; Franceschini’s Concerto for 2 Trumpets; Contrapunctus No. 1 from Art of the Fugue; and Boccherini’s Cello Sonata in A Major featuring Ronald Feldman, Artist in Residence and Conductor of the Berkshire Symphony.

The New England Baroque Soloists play the rich and colorful repertoire of the Baroque period featuring newly discovered works as well as well-known compositions by Bach, Handel, Telemann and others. One of the main elements that distinguishes the NEBS from other baroque ensembles is that the the concerts always represent all four families of the orchestra - winds, brass, strings and keyboard. This makes the concert experience all the more colorful and tonally appealing.
