Eurotour: Early Baroque Pearls, c. 1600–c. 1720
Saturday April 17th at Redeemer Presbyterian on Alexander
Sunday April 18th at St. Martin's Lutheran Church on 15th Street
The final stop on our tour begins with the drama inherent in the expression of text and human emotions, which often changes suddenly and without warning in the early Baroque music of Monteverdi, Strozzi, Charpentier, Schütz, and others. Theatrical presentations, instrumental independence and virtuosity, and vocal contrasts mark the highlights of music from England, France, the Netherlands, and Italy.
