Celebrate the season with Chatham Baroque — as these three impressive musicians perform lively interpretations of baroque music played on instruments of the time.
The Baroque Era was a period in European history during the 17th & 18th centuries noted for highly ornate and often extravagant style. Baroque architecture used contrast, detail, grandeur and surprise to achieve a sense of awe. Music of the period was equally elaborate and typically involved much improvisation. The term baroque is a variation of the Portuguese word for an irregularly shaped pearl.
Enjoy a rollicking program including Italian composer Arcangelo Corelli’s (1653-1713) “Christmas Concerto”, Italian composer Carlo Farina’s (1600-1639) illustrative and faunal “Capriccio Stravagante” as well as the 16th-century dance music of English composer Anthony Holborne (1545-1602) and German composer Michael Praetorius (1571-1621).
