Mary Oleskiewicz is the worldÕs leading authority on the music of Quantz and an international performer on the baroque flute. She performs on exact replicas of the unique two-keyed flutes that Quantz made for Frederick the Great. The duo of Oleskiewicz and Schulenberg have performed at such venues as the Boston Early Music Festival, Lincoln Center Great Performers Series, the Library of Congress, and in concert series throughout the northeast and abroad. Together with Stephanie Vial, they have issued two CDs of chamber works by Quantz.

LAMENTATIONS: Publications of polyphonic settings of the prophet JeremiahÕs mournful, timeless texts about war and destruction began in 1506. In this concert, the Egidius Kwartet performs two16th-century settings of these texts, by Alexander Agricola and Orlando di Lasso. By interspersing them with historical sound clips relating to war and violence, they place this bleakly beautiful music in a broader, contemporary perspective. |
