The American chamber-music ensemble Harmonie Universelle will perform at St. Augustine’s in Wiesbaden on Sunday 18 June at 18:30.

They will be presenting works from the 17th, 18th, and 20th century on historical instruments (traverso flute, viola d’amore, organ).The major works on the concert include Frank Martin’s Sonata da chiesa for viola d’amore and organ, C. P. E. Bach’s Sonata in A minor for flauto traverso without bass, a suite for viola d’amore from the Göttweig MS of c. 1700, and a trio-sonata for flute and viola d’amore by Christoph Graupner.

Harmonie Universelle began its existence with American musicians studying and working in Amsterdam, under the sponsorship of the Anglican chaplaincy there. They performed in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Paris, London, and Bath. After returning to the U.S., they were active as a small ensemble and, at the same time were integral in the founding of the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra. Since then they have performed at the Utrecht Early Music Festival, similar festivals in Boston and Berkeley (CA), and in concert in England, Paris, Vienna, Innsbruck, Cracow, and throughout the U.S, including a series of concerts under the auspices of the National Endowment for the Arts. They have recorded the trios for flute, viola d’amore, and basso-continuo of Christoph Graupner and Telemann for the ACA Digital label.
