The music of Dietrich Buxtehude was a profound influence on Bach’s style. In this program, Tesserae and festival bass John Buffett will explore works by Buxtehude and his contemporaries alongside selected early Italian works — which in turn had a profound influence on the early German style. Featuring vocal cantatas alongside virtuosic instrumental works, this program traces the thread between the early Baroque style and the music of J.S. Bach.

Members of Tesserae Baroque:

• Anna Washburn, baroque violin
• Leif Woodward, baroque cello
• Aaron Westman, baroque violin
• Alexandra Opsahl, recorder
• Ian Pritchard, harpsichord
