Peter Blanchette's 8th Annual Bach Birthday Celebration Concert
Peter Blanchette and the Northampton Center for the Arts uphold what has become a valley tradition: Blanchette's annual concert celebrating Johann Sebastian Bach's birthday. As always, the concert includes Blanchette's trademark arrangements of music composed by the 330-year-old honoree.
Archguitarist Blanchette is joined by special guests Duo Orfeo--Joe Ricker and Jamie Balmer, electric guitars. Duo Orfeo's new release, Guitar Nouveau, has already received critical praise. Ricker's arrangements of keyboard music of the late baroque composer Jaques Duphly, which will be performed in the concert, were featured on BBC's The Early Music Show. Blanchette and Duo Orfeo will combine to perform Blanchette's arrangement of Bach's Trio Sonata BWV 528.
Peter Blanchette is the inventor of the 11-string archguitar. His repertoire of unusual and internationally acclaimed arrangements and compositions spans from medieval to contemporary to ethnic, played in solo recital or with selected instrumentalists to form the Virtual Consort.
