'Fire Beneath My Fingers' tells a fascinating story of great performers and performances! This program showcases Antonio Vivaldi, Guiseppe Sammartini, and Guiesppe Tartini; three of the most legendary composers of this era who were also virtuoso performers in their own rights. The sensitivity of their writing to the best each instrument had to offer made their sonatas and concerti models of new compositional genres. Performed by Musica Pacifica this program embodies a repertoire of music that is as rich and satisfying to bring to the stage today as it was when their ink was still wet on the page. Musica Pacifica is recognized as one of North America's premier baroque ensembles. Founded in 1990, they have been described by the press as 'some of the finest baroque musicians in America (Amer, Reek, Guid) and 'among the best in the world' (Alte Musik Aktuell). Their stylish, high energy and virtuoso performances consistently receive enthusiastic reviews from critics and audiences alike. They have been described as 'superbly elegant...exemplifying the finest in historical performance today'. Based in the San Francisco Bay area, Musica Pacifica are members of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and they appear with many other prominent early music ensembles the world over.
