Strange Musicke: Brooke Green and Ruby Brallier, viols
What did Shakespeare mean with strange musicke in The Tempest? Can we imagine the rare pleasures of Europe’s select few at this time, experiencing intimate banquet music so ravishing it silenced all conversation?
We invite you to enjoy a glass of wine or an alternative beverage as you experience the strange and the rare with us in this program of magic and mystery. Fantasias by Richard Mico and Giovanni Coperario, an Australian premiere of a recently discovered anonymous ground, world premiere arrangements by Brooke Green of J.S.Bach’s Sonata for Violin and Continuo BWV 1021 and his Canon in Augmentation and Contrary Motion from The Art of Fugue. There may be a surprise.
When: Saturday 17 August, 7 pm
