New this season: order tickets online here! La Dolce Vita: At the Crossroads of Italian Classical Folk Traditions with Daniela Pierson, baroque violin October 6, 2007 - 8:00pm: Synod Hall, Oakland October 7, 2007 - 2:30pm: McClintic Hall, Calvary Episcopal Church, Shadyside From the popular sounds of the "Tarantella San Michele," "Tammouriatta," and other earthy and familiar Italian tunes to the compositions of Castello, Uccellini, Marini, and Corelli, Italian Baroque meets Italian folk music for the best of both worlds! This concert traces (in part) the sweet life of the violin in Italy, from a lowly tavern instrument to the bella figura it has become. Bohemian Rhapsody: Eastern European Elegance with Barry Bauguess, baroque trumpet, and Webb Wiggins, chamber organ December 8, 2007 - 8:00pm: Synod Hall, Oakland December 9, 2007 - 2:30pm: Laughlin Music Center, Chatham University, Shadyside "Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango?" No, not that Bohemian Rhapsody. Our Emily Norman Davidson Memorial Concert, an eclectic program of Eastern European enticements from Poland, Moravia, Silesia, and elsewhere, will feature the popular "Trumpeter of Krakow" and showcase the light attack and warm tones of one of North America's premier trumpeters. With additional works by Biber, Schmelzer, and Vejvanovský, this performance will be fit for a queen (if not, perhaps, for the rock band Queen‹sorry, no fandangos). Journeys: Sounds of the Jewish Diaspora with Anna Levenstein, soprano, and Danny Mallon, percussion February 16, 2008 - 8:00pm: Synod Hall, Oakland February 17, 2008 - 2:30pm: Levy Hall, Temple Rodef Shalom, Oakland Fiddler-on-the-roof meets Españoleta! If there's any place this season for something like a fandango, perhaps it is here, as the intrepid trio is joined by two internationally acclaimed guests to perform Sephardic music from Spain and Morocco as well as Ashkenazi music from Eastern Europe. These rich musical traditions abound with popular and recognizable themes. Julie won't be on the roof, but she just might bring the house down! Sunday's post-concert reception to be held in the beautiful Aaron Courtyard Airing It Out & Keeping It Reel: St. Paddy's Delight with Alison Melville, recorder and baroque flute March 15, 2008 - 8:00pm: Synod Hall, Oakland March 16, 2008 - 2:30pm: Laughlin Music Center, Chatham University, Shadyside One of North America's leading performers on recorder and historical flutes unites her talent with Chatham Baroque for a lively set of traditional and classical Celtic melodies. This program of reels, airs, and jigs by Scottish and Irish composers, including Oswald and Carolan, will set your toes to tappin' and fill you with the spirit of St. Patrick's Day! New This Season! Wandering Minstrels: A Pluckin' Good Time Chatham Baroque kicks off an exciting new series, featuring Friday night season concerts along with food and drink at venues around town. Gypsy Café October 5, 2007 - 6:00 and 8:30pm As the perfect culinary accompaniment to La Dolce Vita, join Chatham Baroque for a special Mediterranean feast prepared by the chef at this award-winning South Side restaurant - the sweet life, indeed!

Bradley granted Chatham Baroque special permission to perform in one of the city's oldest Catholic churches. The Romanesque and baroque architecture of this Pittsburgh landmark, located on Smallman Street in the heart of the Strip District provides the perfect backdrop for the Bohemian Rhapsody selections. Join us afterwards for pierogies, beer and more at the Church Brew Works. The Mattress Factory March 14, 2008 - 8:00pm Everyone knows that Harp goes with Guinness, but Chatham Baroque intends to prove that theorbo, viola da gamba, violin, and flutes go just as well with a perfectly-drawn pint. Help us celebrate St. Paddy's day early on the North Side with a performance of Airing It Out & Keeping It Reel, followed by a reception featuring Guinness, Harp, and substantial munchies, catered by Coca Café. Mattress Factory art galleries open at at 7:00 p.m. for viewing. You won't want to miss this reel-y great scene! Come a-roving with us to these exciting locations! Additional Concerts and Events Masters of Innovation Friday, November 9, 2007 - 8:00pm, Presbyterian Church, Sewickley The palette of sounds and musical ideas that we now consider "baroque" emerged in the seventeenth century. Chatham Baroque will explore the development of this innovative sound from Italy to France to Austria and Spain, through the baroque blockbusters of such masters as Corelli, Marais, Castello, Schmelzer, Kapsberger, Sanz, and others, including the great one himself, J.S. Bach. Music of Love & War A Collaboration with the Pittsburgh Opera Center February 9, 2008 Last year's wildly successful collaboration on Ormindo was so much fun that Chatham Baroque will join forces with singers from the Pittsburgh Opera Center once again, this time to perform the music of Claudio Monteverdi and John Dowland. The torments of love and war, expressed in solos, duets, madrigals, lute songs, and more, have never sounded so sweet!
