THE NATIONS, Concert 3, THE GERMAN STATES

Saturday April 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM
At Time & Space Limited, Hudson NY

This year, Four Nations Ensemble presents 3 Programs featuring music from Austria, Savoy and Germany inspired by Couperin’s masterful sonatas entitled The Nations.

Though the Four Nations Ensemble derives its name from these masterpieces, for the first time in its 40 year concert history, the Ensemble will perform the complete set of Couperin’s grand sonatas. These exquisite, subtle and touching works will act as overtures to programs of music from the countries to which Couperin makes allusion.

The music runs a gamut from the sublime to the silly, from heartbreaking to ticklish, from the grand to the intimate, from fanfare to whisper. Join us for a tour through Austria, Savoy, France and Spain…and we add the German States and New York City in this performance season.
