In Stile Moderno: Restless in Thought - Music of Restoration-era London
The next Bach’s Lunch concert will take place in the church on Wednesday, June 3 at 12:15 p.m. London in the last decades of the 17th century: an era of cultural renaissance. After the restoration of the monarchy and the lifting of Puritan bans on theater and music, artists breathed a collective sigh of relief. Bawdy comedies and over-the-top stage spectaculars quickly came into fashion, and for the first time women were permitted to perform on stage — and to become celebrities in their own right. In Stile Moderno musicians Agnes Coakley Cox (soprano), Nathaniel Cox (theorbo & guitar), Julia Glenn (violin), and Cameron Welke (archlute & guitar) will explore the music of this fruitful era, including theatrical songs by Henry Purcell, John Eccles, Nicola Matteis and Thomas Mace. The concert is free. Audience members are invited to bring their own lunch to eat during the concert. For more information, please send an email to: [email protected].
