Baroque Bliss: Arcadian Delights - a fête galante pastoral garden party

            The sensibility “French baroque pastorale” referred to a meeting place of the imagination and natural environment in order to perfect one’s material and spiritual existence; to distill the core of nature’s beauty while simultaneously attempting to discard it’s outer, chaotic exterior.

This concert will evoke a fête galante, a pastoral garden party. In the court of Louis XIV, such divertissements kept the King’s courtiers entertained, a safeguard against them revolution-plotting.

Part 1 will be performed in the garden on quintessential pastoral instruments - musette (French baroque bagpipe) and vielle à roue (French baroque hurdy gurdy), performed on original restored 18th C instruments, and Part 2 of pastoral chamber music will be performed in the house.

Featuring Marischka Hopcroft (director, French harpsichord), Bruce Teter (musette, recorders), Curtis Berak (vielle à roue), Marylin Winkle (viola da gamba), Carolyn Beck (Baroque bassoon), Mark Walter (recorders, percussion), and Lewis Johnson (bass-baritone voice).

Suggested donation $20, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
