Amelia Sie joins violist and violist d’amore Alessandra Yang, cellist Eliana Razzino Yang, and harpsichordist Nicola Canzano for Newburyport Chamber Music Festival’s annual Winter Baroque concerts.

The program, a kind of musical comfort food, presents a mix of baroque music from Italy and Germany as well as a unique world premiere trio sonata. Commissioned for this concert from Juilliard-faculty harpsichordist Nicola Canzano, the piece, "Our Towne,” (working title) is a character work illustrating a half dozen or so 18th century Newburyport personages and written in the baroque style. Performances also include stormy Italian music by Marcello and Castello; a mysterious Biber sonata for violin; and the emotional depth of a Bach sarabande for solo cello. Garth Knox’s duo with violin will showcase the viola d’amore’s (literally “viola of love”) silvery sound.
