BRATTLEBORO-Sarasa Ensemble explores the musical influence of Bologna, Italy, Friday, February 27, at the Brattleboro Music Center.
The program, titled "alla Bolognese," notes that Bologna is not only renowned for its famous ragù, but it was also a hot spot for many pioneering 17th-century musicians who paved the way for the flowering of instrumental music in Europe.
The 7 p.m. concert will include works for cornetto, violin, cello, and organ by Leonarda, Cazzati, Arresti, Gabrielli, Bononcini, Torelli, Antonii and Montalbano.
The Sarasa Ensemble includes Elicia Silverstein, violin; Nathaniel Cox, cornetto/theorbo/guitar; Jennifer Morsches, cello; and John McKean, organ.
A collective of international instrumentalists and vocalists, the Sarasa Ensemble performs classical music spanning the 17th to the 21st centuries, on both period and modern instruments, and brings this music to diverse communities.
Tickets are $20 for advance general admission, $25 at the door and are available from bmcvt.org, 802-257-4523, and info@bmcvt.org.
