1800: A Beethoven Band – Virtuoso trios and duos from the time of Ludwig van Beethoven that come to life in a new way on period instruments… including an 8-keyed flute made in 1820 in London. Please join us tomorrow (Saturday)!

  • Jeffrey Cohan ~ flute (made in 1820 in London)
  • Stephen Creswell ~ violin & viola
  • Martin Bonham ~ cello

You’ll hear selections from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Magic Flute arranged for flute, violin and cello when Beethoven was 25, and music by the Viennese flutist Raphael Dressler (1784-1835) who worked with Beethoven, the fabulous German blind virtuoso flutist Friedrich Ludwig Dulon who met Mozart and shared Beethoven’s dates almost exactly (1769-1826), as well as a duo for viola and cello by Franz Danzi (1763-1826) and trios by Ignaz Joseph Pleyel (1757- 1831) and the famous French flutist and bassoonist François Devienne (1759-1803). Tomorrow at 7:00 PM at the Grange.

Saturday, June 6 at 7:00pm at the San Juan Island Grange,  152 First Street in Friday Harbor, (360) 376-6683
