EMV Online School: Music in the Baroque 03:30 p.m. session
Wed, 24 Apr 2024 22:30:00 GMT → Thu, 30 May 2024 00:00:00 GMT (d=35 days, 1 hours, 30 minutes, 0 seconds)
Each session will focus on an important musical composition and the many pressures that contributed to its molding, from aesthetics to acoustics, personalities to budgets, and the social expectations of glinting palace ballrooms, muddy urban streets, and hired church pews. As always, each session will feature an interview with a special musical guest.
Wednesdays from 3:30 – 5 p.m. via Zoom
