Old Salem Visitor Center
900 Old Salem Rd., Winston-Salem, NC
Please join us at the Old Salem Visitor Center in Winston-Salem, for a concert featuring anthems by C. I. Latrobe, John Antes, and Christian Gregor, and the music of Franz Josef Haydn: movements from THE CREATION. The first performance of THE CREATION in North America was by the Moravians in Bethlehem, PA. The Moravian Music Foundation is custodian of first editions of this work and more by Haydn.
The Vivaldi Project trio will perform a string trio by John Antes, likely the first chamber music written by an American (while Antes was serving as a missionary in Egypt).
The Vivaldi Project (string trio)
Praised for its brilliant and expressive playing, The Vivaldi Project presents innovative programs of Baroque and Classical string repertoire that combine scholarship and performance to both educate and delight audiences. The period instrument ensemble takes its name from the virtuoso violinist and innovative composer Antonio Vivaldi in recognition of his pivotal position between earlier Baroque and later Classical composers.
Amanda Moody-Schumpert – Director
Mary Louise Kapp Peeples – Accompanist/Organist
The Moramus Chorale is a performing and recording vocal ensemble of the Moravian Music Foundation. They have premiered new works by living composers and presented “first modern performances” of many (newly edited) works by historic composers. Chorale seeks talented singers, with an interest in Moravian music, who welcome a challenge and are committed to excellence.
