Early Music Seattle & Seattle Baroque Orchestra: Party Bohemienne
$40-$60 general, $20 side ($35 senior, $15 student)
The Kingdom of Bohemia doesn't get much airtime in the history of Baroque music. But far from being a musical backwater, 18th-century Prague boasted a dazzling array of musical talents. Czech musicians worked in many of the great courts of Europe, and Count Wenzel von Morzin (the dedicatee of the beloved Four Seasons) maintained an orchestra in Prague that Vivaldi himself described as "virtuosissima." Directed by Nate Helgeson, the SBO will bring you back in time exploring some of the finest Czech composers of the age.
This program will receive 2 in-person performances: Friday, January 26 at 7:30pm at Bastyr University Chapel; and Saturday, January 27 at 7:30pm at Town Hall Seattle. It will also be recorded and released online as a digital broadcast on February 3 at 12pm Pacific.
