Salish Sea Early Music Fest features Bach flute sonatas

As part of the 2019 Salish Sea Early Music Festival, a program of Bach’s flute sonatas will be held 7 p.m., Saturday, March 23 at the St. Augustine’s in-the-Woods Episcopal Church in Freeland.

Admission is a suggested donation of $15, $20 or $25; ages 18 and under are free.

Flutist Jeffrey Cohan and harpsichordist Hans-Jürgen Schnoor will perform the sonatas for flute and harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Cohan has received international acclaim both as a modern flutist and as one of the foremost specialists on transverse flutes from the renaissance through the early 19th century.

Conductor, organist, harpsichordist, fortepianist and modern pianist Schnoor is one of Germany’s leading performers and conductors of period instrument performances of the instrumental and choral works of Bach and others.

In 2019, the Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents eight performances on Whidbey Island of early chamber music performed on period instruments.
