Musique Royale Comes to the Sacred Heart Church in Johnstown, Richmond County as Part of the 37th Summer Festival Tour on August 28th starting at 4pm.
The repertoire, carefully chosen by Birgit and Benjamin, comes mainly from the Baroque period, but not exclusively, since it is a musical genre that has inspired composers to this day. The duo thus plays tunes from different eras which all have the particularity of "sounding baroque to their ears". Baroque music has many points in common with the traditional music they know well: short melodies and simple structure, significant work on variations, ornamentations, style, and a close relationship to dance. Admission is $25 at the door ($20 advance by emailing louisecampbel@gmail.com) Students $10 at the door.
