Guitars and lutes have both accompanied and had starring roles in music of the Baroque era. Join brilliant lutenist and guitarist John Schneiderman and members of Musica Angelica for an exploration of music for many strings. The program will include rarely heard guitar quintets by Boccherini—including his celebrated Fandango—works by Haydn and Kohaut, and a setting of Vivaldi’s La Folia.

The violin played by Elizabeth Blumenstock, Andrea Guarneri, Cremona, 1660, has been made available to her through the generosity of the Philharmonia Period Instrument Trust.
