Sarasa Ensemble presents "Anónimo from Amazonia: Bolivian Mission Baroque," Friday, March 8, at 7 p.m. at the Brattleboro Music Center (BMC). Organizers bill it as "a sunny program of secular and sacred Baroque music from the Missions of Bolivia, with an undeniable impulse from the folk element of its indigenous people."
Featured performers are Carley DeFranco, soprano; Jesse Irons, Rebecca Nelson, violins; Jennifer Morsches, cello; William Simms, Baroque guitar/theorbo; and John McKean, organ.
The Sarasa Ensemble is a collective group of international instrumentalists and vocalists who perform classical music spanning the 17th to the 21st centuries on both period and modern instruments and bring this music to diverse communities. Through the ensemble's outreach program in adolescent detention facilities, it is dedicated to bridging cultural, aesthetic, and economic barriers and providing incarcerated teenagers with opportunities for growth, self-expression, and enrichment through music.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door, available at bmcvt.org or 802-257-4523. For more information, call the BMC or email info@bmcvt.org.
