SALISBURY — Crescendo will be kicking off its 20th anniversary season in August, beginning with a free concert on Thursday, Aug. 3, at 5 p.m. at Trinity Church in Lakeville.
The hour-long performance is one of a few free concerts provided by Crescendo this season. The concert is dedicated to legendary harpsichord player and scholar Wanda Landowska, who lived in Lakeville following her career.
The concert will feature flute and harpsichord sonatas by Johann Sebastion Bach. Internationally-renowned flautist Rodrigo Tarraza will be performing alongside Crescendo’s Founding Artistic Director Christine Gevert. The pair have performed together in Europe, the U.S. and Latin America since 1995.
Though Crescendo has recently been struck with multiple COVID cases, the group remains committed to continuing its work in the region and is excited for this upcoming season.
Due to the setbacks of these cases in June, Crescendo has not been able to officially release its season’s schedule yet but is planning to do so on Aug. 5. Concerts in the works include Baroque, opera choruses, Gilbert and Sullivan and works by Giacomo Carissimi.
“I’m certainly very grateful for the faith of the locals in me and my vision with Crescendo, and for the great support and hard work of everyone around Crescendo,” Gevert said.
