Faculty recital: Dr. Anthony Olson

Northwest Professor of Music Dr. Anthony Olson will play the harpsichord during a “A Baroque Celebration: The Genius of Georg Philipp Telemann.” He will be joined by soprano Eva Peng, flutist Rebecca Dunnell, oboist Joseph Michale Tomasso, and cellist Brenda Allen. 

Telemann’s output includes more than 3,000 compositions, ranging from operas and cantatas to concertos and chamber music. Telemann was known for his ability to blend different national styles—German, French and Italian—into his music, making it both innovative and accessible. His works were published and admired throughout Europe, and his influence extended to future generations of composers, including his friend J.S. Bach.

The performance is free and open to the public.
