Chiharu Abe: Bach, Biber, and D'Amore Unofficial

This concert approaches Baroque music as “rhetoric through sound,” with a program structured around the themes of rhetoric and views on life and death from that era. Through performances on the Baroque violin and viola d’amore by Chiharu Abe, the concert delves into the depths of the introspective and dramatic works of composers representative of the German Baroque, such as J.S. Bach, Biber, and Petzold. In particular, the Baroque theology and questions about “death” found in the unaccompanied violin works, combined with the meditative timbre unique to the viola d’amore, express a wide range of emotional fluctuations, from church music to chamber music. This musical dialogue—moving from anguish to ecstasy and finally to quiet prayer—is sure to resonate deeply with modern audiences. We invite you to a unique experience where you can fully savor the essence of Baroque art while unraveling the historical context and symbolic meanings embedded in the music. Please enjoy a special evening where you can immerse yourself in the music within a serene atmosphere.
