UNSUNG & UNTOLD: The County and His Dutch Masterpiece, will premiere on YouTube Live on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at 7 PM. Kontrapunktus proudly presents a beautifully riveting Baroque masterwork that, until 1980, had been misattributed to the wrong composer for more than two centuries. Given its textural Italian brush, scholars believed the "Concerti Armonici" to belong to extraordinarily talented, yet tragic Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, who passed away at 26. However, the actual writer was an aristocratic Dutch count who moonlighted as a composer, named Unico Wilhelm Graf van Wassenaer. The performers of this program are some of the finest young classical musicians in the world who hail from the Colburn School, the Juilliard School and the USC Thornton School of Music. This presentation is supported in part by an arts grant from the City of West Hollywood.

The presentation will be free of charge on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at 7PM here: https://rdjpublishing2014.wixsite.com/unsunganduntold
