The Wheatland Concert Series, Baroque Chamber Quartet and Wine Dinner

While the snow and cold temperatures try to hold on, the days are growing noticeably longer, the jonquils are beginning to poke through the cold earth and the early fruit trees are starting to form buds... The cycle of life is renewed! Spring is in the air!

And what better way to celebrate Spring than the haunting beautiful sound of a baroque quartet performing the inspired sonatas of Georg Philipp Telemann and Marin Marais.

I would like to extend a warm invitation for you to join us for our 2024 season debut on March 16th.

We have a fantastic ensemble of musicians performing on the 16th led by Professor Mark Janello, Johns Hopkins University Peabody Conservatory on harpsichord, Ms. Gracie Carney performing an original violin from the 1600s, Mr. Jacob Jahiel on viola da gamba (grandfather of the modern cello) and Ms. Sarah Shoja on Baroque recorder.

Georg Philipp Telemann was a contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach and actually the godfather of his son Johann Christian Bach. Born the son of a Lutheran Pastor in 1681, Telemann originally intended to study law. But young Georg felt his gifts were elsewhere and by time he was 19 he somehow taught himself to play 12 instruments and compose his own music.

Telemann is listed in the Guiness Book of Records as the world's most prolific composer, responsible for some 3,000 works: three times as many as Bach and five times as many as Mozart. Somehow, he found time for his 11 children and his study of botany, where he was recognized across Europe not only as a leading composer but an authority on plants.
