ONLINE SCHOOL: Music in the Baroque – Recorded Version
Available June 18 – September 18 2024
After a few detours to investigate special topics, Early Music Vancouver’s Online School – Recorded Version returns to exploring the music of a specific historical era – the Baroque.
Each session focuses on an important musical composition and the many pressures that contributed to its molding, from aesthetics to acoustics, personalities to budgets, and the social expectations of glinting palace ballrooms, muddy urban streets, and hired church pews. As always, each session features an interview with a special musical guest.
