Mediterranean Nights
Sultry Songs and Passionate Dances from Italy and Spain

Program

To be announced

Apollo's Fire, the Cleveland Baroque Orchestra, under the direction of Jeannette Sorrell, returns to the 2012 Tucson Winter Chamber Music Festival with its touring ensemble. Captivating Spanish and Italian love songs, castanets, and driving foot percussion will make this a memorable evening. Soprano Nell Snaidas (last heard on AEMS's series in Hesperus' Robin Hood Project) draws us into her world of 17th-century ballads, while Spanish dancer Stever Player sets sparks flying with daring improvisations. Passionate sonatas by Merula, Uccellini, and Castello reach a redhot finish with Sorrell's arrangement of Boccherini's Fandango Quintet.


“Steve Player and Nell Snaidas nearly burnt the place down with their sizzling intensity.”
