Spotted at Theatre Opening

I had a great time visiting with some artist friends, Thomas Winter, Lorrianna Colozzo, and making some new friends, like Bridget Baratta. I am pictured here with Lorri and Bridget. Too bad the photo wasn't taken by Thomas. Ha!

Terry Performs - Pergolesi Stabat Mater

In association with Artists For A Cause Inc, Terry will be involved in a new production of Pergolesi's baroque masterpiece, Stabat Mater.

Dance, visual art, and an orchestra of musical prodigies will breathe new life into this timeless work which depicts Mary's experience through the Passion, and is reminiscent of Bach, Handel, and Mozart.

Visit from Germany

Yesterday, a friend from Germany, who danced in concert I produced for Prince Alexander Schaumburg-Lippe, came to visit. It reminded me of the great time I had there, and how Pr. Alex and his family became my friends.

Maybe you saw my return to Russia in the TV clip posted on www.youtube.com/tlbarber

Well, here's a trip back in time for some nostalgia about my trip to Germany...

You can hear the encore performance NOW!

I wasn't aware of this site... OR the fact that they'd be putting our live recording here, for sale...

But, it is a really cool idea for a site. All of you who missed it, can now here the Bach Bminor "Live".

Here are my two solos. http://www.instantencore.com/music/player.aspx?ListItemId=1823747

Final Review from Bach B Minor Mass

As I promised, here it is...

"Terry Barber, a former member of the virtuosic male singing troupe Chanticleer. Barber has star quality. With Marianne Pfau squawking beautifully on the pungent-sounding oboe d’amore, he sang “Qui sedes” with the panache of a Baroque opera hero."

Bach Concert Reviews are coming in...

We are expecting one more review from Atlanta's largest paper, so check back and I'll post it. As always, I feel that part of my 'pay' for working with New Trinity Baroque was in the musical experience and partnerships. It's an honor to work with experts who play beautifully on period instruments, soloists who inspire, and a lively and precise choral group. We were all there because we love Bach, and creating this art together.

From Atlanta, Georgia:

"Terry Barber, countertenor, who was revelatory. His Agnus Dei was the high point of the entire concert, and he used his ease and facility across the entire alto range to beautifully express everything Bach gave him to say."

From Birmingham, AL

"A highlight was the duo of countertenor Terry Barber and oboe d'amore soloist Marianne Pfau in "Qui sedes," performed as seamlessly and buoyant as a vocal duet."

NEW TRINITY BAROQUE & GEORGIA TECH CHAMBER CHOIR PRESENT BACH'S B MINOR MASS

Engineers Perform Music by the `Master of Musical Engineering'

(Atlanta – Friday, February 25, 2011) – New Trinity Baroque, Atlanta's premier early music ensemble, and Georgia Tech Chamber Choir, will join forces to present Johann Sebastian Bach's monumental masterpiece MASS IN B MINOR, with professional soloists, young choral singers, Austro-German Latin and period instruments, as Bach himself would have done it.

NTB and GTCC have both established themselves as the leaders in Atlanta's arts community, and these performances promise to be the highlight of Atlanta's 2010/11 musical season. These concerts will be the Southeastern US premiere of the newly published Breitkopf edition of the B MINOR MASS, edited by preeminent Bach scholar Joshua Rifkin. Atlanta audiences will have the opportunity to enjoy two performances of the work. The first, on Friday, March 4 at St. John's United Methodist Church (550 Mt. Paran Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30327) will be conducted by Georgia Tech's Director of Choral Activities, Jerry Ulrich, and the second, on Saturday, March 5 at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church (1790 LaVista Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30329) will be conducted by NTB's founder and director, Predrag Gosta. Both performances begin at 8 PM. A free pre-concert talk will be offered before the Saturday performance at 7 PM.

Bach's B MINOR MASS, completed during the last year of his life, is generally considered to be one of the greatest masterworks of Western art music. Last month, New York Times music critic Anthony Tommasini began his `Top Ten Classical Composers' list with the following statement; "My top spot goes to Bach, for his matchless combination of masterly musical engineering…" (NY Times, Jan 21, 2011). Georgia Tech Chamber Choir director Jerry Ulrich explains: "It all began as an idea at a local coffee shop. I wanted to collaborate with New Trinity Baroque, because they are the best period instrument ensemble in Atlanta."

By implementing period instruments and using younger choral voices, these concerts will present the sound closest to what Bach himself would likely have heard. "There is no record of B minor Mass being performed during Bach's lifetime," Jerry Ulrich explains. "However, we do know the instrumental and choral forces Bach would have had. We are hoping to present an historically-informed period instrument performance that reflects music of Johann Sebastian Bach as he would have done it."

Soloists will include soprano Wanda Yang Temko, countertenor Terry Barber, tenor Adam Kirkpatrick, and bass Paul Max Tipton. "All of these soloists have considerable reputation and experience in Baroque repertoire, and their involvement will guarantee `product-de-lux,'" Predrag Gosta said. "The instrumental ensemble will consist of 24 players. The bowed stringed instruments are playing on gut strings, using baroque bows. Additionally, we use wooden flutes and oboes, key-less Baroque trumpets, small skin-stretched baroque timpani, natural horns, and baroque bassoons. The continuo will be comprised of a mixture of colors - we will use visually appealing chitarrone, together with cello, bassoon, violone, harpsichord and organ. New Trinity Baroque performs as an orchestra, chamber choir or as a chamber ensemble. Depending on the repertoire, the number of musicians changes. The players come from all over the United States, as well as from Europe."

More information is available at NTB's website, www.newtrinitybaroque.org. Tickets are available online or by phone at 1-800-838-3006 (24/7), and are priced from $9 to $39, with discounts available for students and groups.
