Charms in Musick
Presented by Salut! Baroque
Sunday 15 November, 3.00pm
Verbrugghen Hall, Conservatorium of Music
Ancient Greek theatre inspired a gathering of musicians, poets and intellectuals in Florence in the late 16th century to create the dramatic new musical form of Opera, incorporating music, poetry, theatre and visual arts. It was both a culmination of composition for voice over centuries and a starting point for what evolved during the baroque period and beyond of exceptional compositions showcasing the magnificence of the voice.
We are delighted to be joined by Anna Fraser, soprano; Sally Melhuish and Alana Blackburn, recorders; Jane Downer, oboe; Stephen Freeman and Julia Russoniello, violin; Brad Tham, viola; Tim Blomfield, cello; Jude Hill, double bass; and Monika Kornel, harpsichord.
