BRATTLEBORO — The Friends of Brooks Memorial Library will host a concert by the Brattleboro Baroque Quartet on Friday, July 24, at 7:30 p.m., at the Brooks Library on Main Street in Brattleboro.
The quartet members are Martin Hanft on the traverso and recorder; Michelle Liechti on the violin; Laurie Rabut on the viola da gamba, and Wendy Redlinger at the harpsichord.
The performance will be a salon-style event with seating in the round. The musicians will speak briefly about their instruments and about the works they will be playing. The quartet will play pieces by four composers, including Georg Friedrich Handel, Johann Joachim Quantz, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, and Johann Christoph Schultze.
Refreshments will be served as part of the program.
The mission of the Friends of the Library is to support the library through advocacy, public relations and fundraising. Funds raised through concerts and other events help support the library's First Wednesday lecture series, technology updates, Children's Room activities and purchase of library materials.
