Ohrlando’s Chamber Ensemble offers trio of concerts

“Ohrlando” offers a special treat for lovers of exquisite baroque and early classic chamber music just in time for the holidays.

Together with Ursula Hesse, Roland “Ohrlando” Maurer provides a wide range of solo pieces that shows the harpsichord not only for the basso continuo but also as an “obligato”-instrument with his own “concertato” part; a dialog between the solo instrument and the harpsichord.

The program includes a concerto serenata by Domenico Cimarosa, a late Renaissance Fantasia, a sonata by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and a special arrangement of “Italian Concerto” by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Concerts are slated at 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 16 at Queen Emma Community Center in Kealakekua and 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 17 at Kona Lutheran Church Holy Trinity. Admission is free, however, a $15 donation per person is suggested.

At 4 p.m. on Dec. 18, a concert will be held at a private residence in Kona. A $20 donation is suggested to attend this concert.
