May 20, 2008 – Angel Orensanz Center
Carnegie Hall Presents in a Neighborhood Concert Series event The Bar-Olk Project: Arthur Sato, oboe (producer); Kristoffer Saebo, double bass (producer); Chris Norman, flute, pipes, and vocals; Lionel Party, harpsichord. With special guests: Sami Merdinian, violin; Meena Bhasin, viola; Jody Redhage, cello; Nick Halley, percussion, piano, and vocals; Andy Thurston, guitar.
Seeking to bridge cultures and traditions in a concert format that appeals to young adult audiences, Saebo and Sato have collaborated to create The Bar-olk Project, which compare and contrast the performance traditions and notions of authenticity of both Baroque-era classical music and folk music. The concert mixed discussion and interactive elements with performances featuring Saebo, Sato, The Chris Norman Ensemble, and a Baroque Ensemble created particularly for this program, led by New York Philharmonic harpsichordist Lionel Party. Music was selected from composers J.S. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, F. Barsanti, W. McGibbon, M.P. Monteclair, and J. Oswald, among others as well as the traditional music of Maritime Canada, Scotland, and Ireland.
