Description

Join us for a fascinating discussion with music as members of the early music ensemble REBEL provide a delightful introduction to Baroque music. One of the richest and most diverse periods in music history the Baroque music era followed the Renaissance and is a style of Western art music composed from approximately 1600 to 1750. Vivaldi, Handel and Bach were composers from this period. The Baroque era was followed in turn by the Classical era.

REBEL was formed in the Netherlands in 1991 and has since earned an impressive international reputation through their virtuosic, provocative approach to the Baroque and Classical repertoire.

This event is cosponsored by AADL and the UM Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments, in partnership with The Academy for Early Music.
