Froberger and his Contemporaries
with Jacques Ogg, harpsichord
Saturday, January 11 at 3:00 PM
The life and travels of Johann Jakob Froberger involved encounters with pirates, studies in Rome, sojourns in Paris and London, and working for the Emperor in Vienna. And being a student of Stylus Fantasticus, his music is no less dramatic or fanciful. Jacque Ogg, the Lyra Baroque Orchestra’s beloved Artistic Director, presents an evening of toccatas, preludes and other whims by Froberger, and peers he encountered in his adventures: Louis Couperin and Matthias Weckmann, among others.
