About the Event
Welcome to Baroque and Unknown: Night Four - From Baroque to Now. Tonight, Nicola Shangrow Reilly and John Wineglass will discuss how classical music has shifted to include more diverse voices throughout history.
Nicola will curate a trio of players to perform works by Baroque composers Jacquet de la Guerre and Isabelle Charriere, as well as other composers featured through the Baroque and Alone series, setting the stage for a lively discussion with John about how these early voices paved the way for more inclusive narratives in music. Plus, enjoy paired food and beverage tastings from Uncle Nearest and Chic Charcuterique.
