Before Telemann became one of the most prolific composers of the Baroque era, he was a young scholar expected to study law—much like countless students who arrive at college, still discovering where their true passions lie. Telemann’s bold decision to leave law and follow his musical calling resonates powerfully as the University of Oregon celebrates 150 years of curiosity, courage, and unexpected journeys. OBF honors Telemann’s audacious leap and UO’s century-and-a-half commitment to nurturing explorers, innovators, and occasional academic detours—performed in a community that encourages Ducks to chart their own course. G.P. Telemann : Overture-Suite in E Minor G.P. Telemann : Concerto for Three Violins G.P. Telemann : Quartet in G Major G.P. Telemann : Overture-Suite in B-flat Major Berwick Academy Orchestra Artists, dates, times, repertoire, and venues are subject to change.
