Concert 1 of Pacific Baroque Series' one-day mini-festival: Guided by Voices with Elinor Frey, 5-string cello. In-person ticket.

Christ Church Cathedral Victoria

Elinor Frey, 5-string celloToday the five-string cello is treated as an exotic and rarely-played cousin of the standard cello. However, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it was simply one of the many instruments used in the family of bass violins and was particularly important for virtuosic sonatas and solos. The program centres around the five-string cello’s most enduring work, Bach’s Sixth Solo Suite (BWV 1012). Each movement reveals the instrument’s incredible versatility and remarkable colors. Elinor Frey explores these qualities further through two newer works, “Guided By Voices” by Scott Godin (based on “O Vis Aeternitatis” of Hildegard von Bingen) and “With concord of sweet sounds” by Isaiah Ceccarelli.TICKETS FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLESEMV: Pacific Baroque Series acknowledges that it operates on the traditional, ancestral and unceded Coast Salish territory of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ nations. In the spirit of reconciliation and to honour the natural stewards of these lands, EMV offers free tickets to all Indigenous peoples.
