Arnie and friends webThe Galant style was all the rage in 18th-century London, attracting musicians from all over the continent. One of the epicenters of this musical craze was the Bach-Abel series headed by its namesakes, Johann Christian Bach and Carl Friedrich Abel. This program will feature works by the famed Hanoverian duo. 

David Dickey ~ oboe
Jeremy Rhizor ~ violin 
Arnie Tanimoto ~ viola da gamba 
Cullen O'Neil ~ cello

Gold medalist of the 7th International Bach-Abel Competition, Arnie Tanimoto is equally at home on the viola da gamba and baroque cello. Described by The New York Times as a “fine instrumental soloist” he has performed and recorded with Barthold Kuijken, the Boston Early Music Festival Ensemble, and the Smithsonian Consort of Viols. As a teacher, he serves on the faculty at the Mountainside Baroque Summer Academy as well as maintaining a private studio.
