BOOM to perform Nov. 1 at Minsky Recital Hall
The Baroque Orchestra of Maine (BOOM) will perform at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, at Minsky Recital Hall at the University of Maine.
This is a “Closer to Home” concert — featuring two musicians who live and teach in Maine — in the John I. and Elizabeth E. Patches Chamber Music Series.
In 2010, violinist Heidi Powell founded BOOM to create a world-class baroque orchestra in the state. The lively, ordered European classical style of music was composed from about 1600 to 1750. In addition to Powell, of Ellsworth, BOOM musicians are: Richard Hsu, of Ellsworth, violin; Nina Bishop Nunn, violin; Christopher Nunn, viola; David Bakamjian, baroque cello; and Rebecca Pechefsky, harpsichord.
Members of BOOM play period instruments set up in the baroque style. Each musician will be featured as a soloist during the concert. The group will perform music by Antonio Vivaldi, J.S. Bach, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier and Dario Castello. More information and tickets are online.
