UNIVERSITY PARK — Le Consort will guide their instruments in singing praise of the sonata form with the program “From Naples to London.” The chamber ensemble’s debut Penn State concert will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, in Recital Hall.

The artists of Le Consort approach the violin trio sonata genre with youthful energy, a fresh ear and the excitement in discovery of a new favorite band. A performance by Le Consort is like a journey through England and Europe, examining the various styles of violin trio sonatas.

Tickets are $48 for an adult; $10 for a University Park student and $15 for a person 18 and younger and are available for purchase online. The Arts Ticket Center is the only authorized outlet for individual tickets for events presented by the Center for the Performing Arts.

Avoid the $4-per-ticket online service fee by calling 814-863-0255; or buying in person from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays at Eisenhower Auditorium.

The myth is that the sonata form is a dead genre. The raison d’etre for Le Consort is to raise awareness of the vibrancy in the music, regardless of its age and place in pop culture, and to create a mental picture of the music and the context of the time.

“It’s really a music that is so much alive and so much closer to our different emotions and so much connected to us as human beings,” Le Consort cellist Hanna Salzenstein said in a recent artist conversation with the Center team.

“It’s very modern,” Salzenstein said. “We always like to introduce the pieces we are playing. … They are traveling in time in a musical context. And we are trying to paint and to tell this story about Europe in the beginning of the 18th century, and how musicians… traveled and how all the different aesthetics just mixed up.”
