St. Paul’s Union Chapel is pleased to announce the first concert in our Summer Music Series at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 21.
The Duo Edelen will present a program of baroque music for cello and harpsicord including works by Couperin, Boismortier, Bach, De Fesch, and Gabrielli.
Hailed as a “superb harpsichordist” by the Kansas City Star, Christina Scott Edelen brings a depth of experience, knowledge, and virtuosity to keyboard performance and teaching. On organ, harpsichord, clavichord, and fortepiano, Christina has performed as soloist and in numerous ensembles, concert series and festivals, including the Early Music Festivals of Bloomington, Berkeley, and Boston, and the Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra. She studied at the Indiana University Early Music Institute and the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, and was a finalist at the Bodky International Competition.
Fred Edelen performs throughout the U.S. and Europe on both modern and Baroque cello. He was formerly cellist with the Houston Symphony and Principal Cellist of the San Antonio Symphony. Described as a “masterful soloist” with “astonishingly expressive style and gorgeous tone,” he has appeared as soloist with the Phoenix, San Antonio, and Houston Symphony orchestras, and was a prize winner at the National Society of Arts and Letters Cello Competition. He performs extensively with his wife, Christina Edelen, as Duo Edelen.
Recommended ticket price is $20 at the door. Chapel seating is limited to 80 people. Outdoor seating is available.
The Chapel is located at 1065 Dutch Neck Road, in Waldoboro. For more information, please contact Eric Stark at 732-762-2862.
