Why Telemania? It could be because Georg Philipp Telemann was one of the most popular composers in Europe during his lifetime and that he contributed prolifically to all the major genres of his day. Or, that he is renowned for his exemplary combining of national styles–– Italian melodies, elegant French dance rhythms, together with meticulous Germanic polyphony. Additionally, his contemporaries greatly esteemed Telemann as a performer, composer, entrepreneur and mentor. But for Asheville Baroque, we’re excited about Telemann’s music because it is fun to play and it sounds great! It ranges from the soothing and serene to edge-of-your-seat exciting. Above all, Telemann was a master of creating sublime earworm-like melodies that are so hard to get out of your head, but they are so beautiful you truly won’t mind!

Asheville Baroque Concerts is delighted to welcome back fellow Telemann enthusiasts, Anne Timberlake, recorder; Jennifer Streeter, recorder and harpsichord; Barbara Weiss, harpsichord, and Gail Ann Schroeder, viola da gamba, for solos, duets and trio sonatas by this ever-popular composer.
