Arcadia Players Summer Special, The Italians Take Britain: Geminiani and Barsanti
August 19 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
$25.00In 1714, two musicians from Lucca, Italy––Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762) and Francesco Barsanti (1690-1775)––immigrated to London, England. In 1742, Barsanti published A Collection of Old Scots Tunes. Several years later, in 1749, Geminiani published A Treatise of Good Taste in the Art of Musick. Pulling from both collections, the program will feature Italianate renditions of British folk tunes.
