During the evening, Professor Harris-Warrick and NYS Baroque will lead their audience into the world of the 17th and 18th centuries. The music of the baroque period was often written for specific occasions at the request of patrons from the aristocracy, the church, or the middle classes. The presenters will bring the audience into five different social situations, accompanying their lively descriptions with slides of locales, events, and performers. They will introduce the baroque instruments used in each situation, discuss the ways they differ from their modern counterparts, and play a work suitable for the occasion. Rebecca Harris-Warrick is assistant professor of music at Cornell University.
