The signal goes out for another Noontime Concert on The Classical Network, courtesy of Gotham Early Music Scene (GEMS).

Today’s program will be drawn from two of GEMS’ Midtown Concerts. Duo Dialogues (made up of harpsichordist Alissa Duryee and Baroque cellist Jérôme Huille) will present a program of suites and sonatas by Giacomo Cattaneo, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Jean Barrière; then Gold and Glitter (Baroque flutist Sang Joon Park, Baroque violinist Daniel Lee, viola da gambist Martha McGaughey, and harpsichordist Arthur Hass) will convene for Francois Couperin’s “La Françoise” from the collection “Les Nations” of 1728.

The concerts took place at St. Bartholomew’s Church, 50th Street and Park Avenue, in Midtown Manhattan, where free concerts are held every Thursday at 1:15 p.m. This Thursday, cellist Juliana Soltis and fortepianist Sylvia Berry will salute Hélène Liebmann, Marianna von Auenbrugger, and Maria Szymanowska on a program titled “In History’s Shadow: Forgotten Female Virtuosi.” To find a complete schedule of lunchtime performances, look online at midtownconcerts.org.

GEMS also presents evening concerts. The ensemble Artek will offer music by the three B’s of German Baroque music – Bach, Bruhns, and Buxtehude – this Friday at 8 p.m. at Holy Trinity Church, Central Park West and West 65th Street, on the Upper West Side.

Academy of Sacred Drama will present the U.S. premiere of Antonio Draghi’s “Oratorio di Guiditta,” inspired by the Biblical tale of Judith, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Corpus Christi Church, 529 West 121st Street.

And Voices of Ascension will celebrate the paintings of Francisco Zurbarán, “Joseph and His Twelve Sons,” currently on display at the Frick Collection, with related works by Cristóbal de Morales, Alonso Lobo, Francisco Guerrero, Roque Ceruti, and George Frideric Handel, next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, 921 Madison Avenue (at 73rd Street).

Gotham Early Music Scene is a non-profit corporation that supports and promotes artists and organizations in New York City devoted to early music – music of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classical periods. For more information and GEMS’ events calendar, look online at gemsny.org.

To the Batpole! It’s Baroque music from Gotham this afternoon at 12:00 EST. Then stick around until 4 – among my featured works, by request, will be a symphony by Edmund Rubbra and a concerto by Joachim Raff. Dark justice meets public service, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
