In the eighth and final Salish Sea Early Music Festival performance at Brickworks for 2019, harpsichordist Jonathan Oddie, violist and violinist Stephen Creswell, baroque cellist Caroline Nicolas and one-key baroque flutist Jeffrey Cohan perform quartets stretching through the 18th century by Georg Philip Telemann, C.P.E. Bach, Joseph Haydn and others in “18th-Century Quartets” on Thursday, June 20, at 7 p.m. at Brickworks, at 150 Nichols St., in Friday Harbor.

The program will range from one of the most well-known quartets for these instruments by Telemann from early in the century to a quartet for obbligato keyboard with flute, viola, cello by Bach (1714-1788), a quartet by Haydn and other rarely heard quartets by little-known late 18th-century composers Tommaso Giordani (c. 1730-1806), J. Schmittbauer (1718-1809) and Johann Gottlieb Naumann (1741-1801).

The festival has presented countless first performances in modern times of period instrument renditions of early works, and is proud to be an affiliate organization of Early Music America, which develops, strengthens and celebrates early music and historically informed performance in North America.
