Making Overtures
Saturday May 2, 2026 2:30pm Wesley Methodist Church, Hadley Overtures and Overture Selections by Telemann, Bach, Zelenka and Fischer The centerpiece of this joyous concert will be Telemann's own "Water Music," the glorious Hamburger Ebb' und Fluth (Hamburg Ebb and Flow), a musical homage to the city where the composer lived and worked for over 40 years. Telemann's tribute captures various moods of the Elbe River as it makes its way through the city, while also honoring a variety of water-deities and even celebrating the local boatmen with some boisterous sailors' dances. |
