The Italian Connection: the Theater of Stylus Fantasticus
February 16, 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm EST
$36 – $71
In the same way that chiaroscuro paintings evoke strong emotions through bold contrasts, so too does music’s Stylus fantasticus through frequent juxtapositions of free fantasy with measured counterpoint. Emanating from Italy, this theatrical style infused the spirit of the Baroque both in performance and composition, culminating here in Corelli’s famed variations on ‘‘madness.’’ Prepare for a musical rollercoaster!
