MUSEUM CONCERTS – CATCH A RISING STAR

Museum Concerts — October 29 – A Rising Star

THE FLAMBOYANT BAROQUE

Théotime Langlois de Swarte and Justin Taylor
Violin & Harpsichord 

Sunday, October 29, 3:30 pm

Théotime Langlois de Swarte & Justin Taylor – violin & harpsichord 

Music and sound are surely the most universal languages, and are especially effective in helping us travel through time. With a few strokes of the violin’s bow and animation of the harpsichord’s keys, let yourself be transported from the London of Handel to the Rome of Corelli, with a visit to J.S. Bach in Cöthen. Alongside monuments of the repertory, you will discover forgotten gems, rarities unearthed from old libraries, and transcriptions of opera arias in the taste of the era. A great journey awaits you!
