Baroque flights of fancy from the Academy of Ancient Music

The Academy of Ancient Music opens the baroque era鈥檚 musical jokebook at Milton Court for an evening of novelties, parodies and flights of fancy from Biber, Scheidt and Farina.

鈥橳is Nature鈥檚 Voice: the Academy of Ancient Music present a sonic extravaganza from six masters of the Baroque.
Expect the unexpected at this concert from Milton Court in London as Bojan C虒ic虒ic虂 and the Academy of Ancient Music open the baroque era鈥檚 musical jokebook for an evening of novelties, parodies and flights of fancy. Biber, Schmelzer, Farina and Scheidt transform the world around them into music with the sounds of a fencing school, a busy street, a city bell-tower and the chaos and clamour of battle. Expect bagpipes and bullets, pealing bells and rollicking dance tunes 鈥� plus a bunch of violins that think they鈥檙e harps. This is the baroque era with a smile on its face.
