Museum Concerts of Rhode Island’s last offering of the 2025-26 season features Musicians of the Old Post Road, a chamber ensemble that specializes in period instrument performances of dynamic and diverse music from the Baroque to early Romantic eras. Its repertoire includes compelling “rediscovered” works that have been lost to audiences for centuries. The April 19th concert at Providence’s First Unitarian Church presents boisterous chamber works from the Classical era with an exotic Bohemian flair and includes the Flute Quartet in G Major by Czech-Austrian composer Adalbert Gyrowetz (1763 – 1850); Johann Evangelist Brandl’s (1760 – 1837) Notturno in E-flat Major for two violas and cello, and the Quintet in D Major for flute and strings by Andreas Lidl (c. 1740 – c. 1789). A set of toe-tapping Hungarian dances and a period arrangement for flute and strings of Mozart’s Rondo “alla Turca” round out the afternoon’s musical delights.
