PORT TOWNSEND — The Salish Sea Early Music Festival will present Hanover Baroque at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on Sunday.
The concert will be at 1:30 p.m. at the church at 1020 Jefferson St.
A donation of $15, $20 or $25 is suggested. Donations are tax-deductible. Those 18 and younger will be admitted free.
Salish Sea Early Music Festival provides period instrument chamber music from six centuries in Port Townsend and around the area.
On Sunday, it will pay tribute to Hanover, Germany’s early music scene, in a program of baroque trio sonatas, solos and duos with harpsichordist Bernward Lohr, baroque violinist Anne Röhrig and baroque flutist Jeffrey Cohan.
Lohr is director of Hanover’s Musica Alta Ripa, one of Germany’s most prominent period instrument ensembles, organizers said.
Röhrig is leader of
the Hannoversche Hofkapelle (the “Hanover Court Orchestra”).
Lohr and Röhrig are professors at music conservatories in Hanover and Nuremberg, Germany.
They have produced more than 30 recordings and have won awards including the Diapason Dòr, the Cannes Classical Award, the German Recording Critics’ Prize and several times the Echo Klassik.
Both were awarded the 2002 Music Award of Lower Saxony.
