Virtuoso works from the early 19th century golden age for flute and guitar will be performed on authentic early 19th century instruments by the Salish Sea Early Music Festival at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 20 at Bethel Church.

John Schneiderman will play guitar and Jeffrey Cohan will play the eight-keyed flute.

The duo will play the works of Mauro Giuliani, an Italian guitarist, cellist, singer and composer. He was a leading guitar virtuoso of the early 19th century.

The Salish Sea’s website explains that in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the industrial revolution helped bring in a more expressive trend in music, less affected by stylistic constraints of the past. “This emerging early 19th century romanticism and new tonal expectations of musical instruments brought about a new chemistry between flutists and guitarists, a blossoming of guitar-flute repertoire by virtuosos on their evolving instruments, and a golden age for the flute-guitar duo.”

Tickets are a suggested donation of $15, $20 or $25, but pay what you can. Ages 18 and under are free.
