Waking the Spirit: Andrew Willis & friends
Andrew Willis will play on two fortepianos, after Stein (1784) and Dulcken (1815). Joining him will be Rebecca Troxler, baroque flute, and Stephanie Vial, cello, in trios by CPE Bach and Haydn; and Sally Renée Todd, fortepiano, in the Grande Sonate for four hands by virtuoso composer Ignaz Moscheles. Each instrument is uniquely well suited to awaken the spirit of the compositions on the program.
