In Transit to the Baroque
EVENT OVER. The tale of the birth of the baroque typically focuses on vocal music but this concert tells a parallel story from the point of view of instrumental music, featuring music by Arcadelt, Willaert, Marini and Bertali.
Date & Time: Friday 24 June, 7.30pm
Ticket price: £20; £10 12-25; under-12s free
Venue: St Bartholomew's Church
The tale of the birth of the baroque typically focuses on vocal music and the new style of singing that emerged in Florence around 1600. This concert tells a parallel story from the point of view of instrumental music, following the twin strands of improvising on vocal music, and the evolution of more abstract, purely instrumental forms such as toccatas and fantasias. Featuring music from the renaissance world of Arcadelt and Willaert to the thoroughly baroque music of Marini and Bertali.
