The Dutch Masters Trio, a group of internationally acclaimed early music performers, will grace the Beall Hall stage on Friday, February 24th at 8 p.m. in a concert of baroque chamber music. The performers are Jacques Ogg, harpsichord; Wilbert Hazelzet, baroque flute; and Jaap ter Linden, cello. Their program will include chamber music works by J.S. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, W.F. Bach, J.C.F. Bach, and Telemann.
Jacques Ogg (harpsichord and fortepiano) graduated from the Amsterdam Conservatory in 1974, where he studied with Gustav Leonhardt. He currently teaches at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague in addition to maintaining an active career as a performer, conductor, and recording artist. Ogg has been a member of the Orchestra of the 18th Century and has performed regularly with Concerto Palatino. He is the artistic director of Lyra Baroque Orchestra in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Wilbert Hazelzet, considered by many to be one of the world’s leading flauto traverso players, has dedicated himself to the study of baroque flute for over forty years. He was a member of Musica Antiqua Köln, and more recently has served as the principle flutist in Ton Koopman’s Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. He also frequently performs duos with harpsichordist Jacques Ogg and lutenist Konrad Junghänel. He has recorded extensively, and is a professor at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague.
Cellist Jaap ter Linden has been at the forefront of the early music movement since its inception. Early in his career he was involved with Musica da Camera, Musica Antiqua Köln, The English Concert, and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. He founded the Mozart Akademie, and is a regular guest director and soloist with the Canadian Arion Ensemble. He has an extensive, award-winning discography as both a performer and a conductor. In 2006 he released his second recording of the Bach Cello Suites. He has recently expanded his musical horizons to include the conducting of baroque opera.
The concert, part of the School of Music and Dance’s “Guest Artist Series,” is co-sponsored by the OHC’s Endowment for Public Outreach in the Arts, Sciences, and Humanities and the American Guild of Organists.
