Tuesday, the Breckenridge Music Festival Orchestra is “Going for Baroque” with a celebration of 17th century music.
The program includes Vivaldi's “Concerto Grosso for 2 Violins and Cello in D minor” and “Concerto for Oboe and Violin in B-Flat Major,” J.S Bach's “Concerto for Violin in E Major,” featuring Emily Cornelius on the violin, Handel's “Trio Sonata for Flute and Oboe in G minor” and Corelli's “Concerto Grosso for 2 Violins and Cello.”
Cornelius made her solo debut at age 15. She now plays with the Canton Symphony, Opera Cleveland and CityMusic in Cleveland, gaining critical acclaim for her performances. This is her third summer with the BMF.
“The opportunity to spend five weeks in Breckenridge is incredible, and an enormous privilege,” Cornelius said. “It is a thrill to play in an excellent chamber orchestra for such appreciative audiences. I am also addicted to hiking and try to climb as many ‘Fourteeners' as possible each year.”
The BMF has garnered a reputation for making its music very accessible to people less familiar with classical music.
“Maestro Zimmermann's palpable joy in music-making is infectious, and his charismatic stage presence makes each audience member feel welcome,” she said. “Attending any classical performance can be a reaffirming experience; it reminds you of how much beauty human beings are capable of creating together. A small chamber orchestra, like the BMF, has a special energy and immediacy that can affect anyone.”
A few interesting tidbits that don't relate to Cornelius:
If she hadn't become a musician, she would be either a writer or pastry chef, and two things on her bucket list involve visiting the Grand Canyon and the Galapagos Islands.
Tuesday's concert also will feature violinists Jeremy Blanden, Hannah Yim, Colleen McCollough, Kathryn Hatmaker and Megan Holland; cellists Elizabeth Beilman and James Holland; oboists Johanna Cox and Sandy Stimson; and flautist Helen Blackburn.
