You will hear works by late Renaissance and early Baroque composers such as Brade, Susato, Corelli, and Gabrieli with an additional focus on courtly English dances and French Canadian folksongs.
Costumes are optional.
The Fantini Ensemble, a group ranging from two to twelve Natural Trumpets and Kettle Drums, will perform historical early music on period instruments and in period costume. The Fantini Ensemble is comprised of leading early music specialists performing music by Bach, Handel, Biber, Purcell, Philidor, Speer, Bendinelli, as well as the beautiful anonymous collections of natural trumpet ensemble music from Salzburg and Lisbon. We are happy to provide a cassette free of charge, on request. There is nothing more beautiful than a lone guitarist playing Spanish and Flamenco guitar. You will hear the interpretation and style of Spanish guitar playing at its finest.
