The WSU Department of Music is thrilled to host a chamber recital given by members of the Lyra Baroque Orchestra, Ground Bass, with guest soloist Joe Jones, bassoon. The program, entitled “Basses, Bach, and Bassoon!” features music from Bach’s cantatas with bassoon obligato, a Buxtehude basses-only extravaganza, and Couperin’s “La Forqueray” for solo harpsichord.

Ground Bass is an ensemble dedicated to exploring the heights and depths of music written for bass instruments.
