You’ll hear another violin “superstar” – Rachel Barton Pine — playing one of Francesco Maria Veracini’s ACADEMIC SONATAS on Sunday Baroque this weekend.

A fine musical instrument should be played, right? Well, a 1704 Stradivarius violin was stashed away – barely played – for most of its existence. The pristine instrument was awakened from its long slumber, nicknamed the Sleeping Beauty, and purchased in 1995 for violinist Isabelle Faust to use. You’ll hear her play music on it by Johann Sebastian Bach on Sunday Baroque this weekend.

Every year on the third Sunday in June, we celebrate Father’s Day. In the baroque era, music was often a family business, passed along from fathers to their children. Sunday Baroque will celebrate some of those musical fathers and their talented offspring, including a father and daughter performance of a sonata by Johann Sebastian Bach, and a Sonata by his son Carl Philip Emanuel on Sunday Baroque this weekend.
