Elizabeth Blumenstock and friends perform lively dances from across Baroque-era Europe including suites by Schmelzer and Marini, Spanish guitar music, and traditional medleys from the British Isles.
A wide-ranging instrumental concert of dances from the British Isles, Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Austria, showcasing the variety and richness in Baroque-era dance music. Perhaps you remember the joyous “Dancing in the Isles” program in 2016?
