Classical music is sweet and sappy and dull, right?
Not so and this Sunday afternoon is a chance to hear the rock and roll of the era from about 1600 to 1750.
Stile Moderno performs baroque music and comes to the 91原创 Community Music School March 8 as part of the Caf脙漏 Classico Concert series.
芒鈧揟his baroque performance is such a great treat,芒鈧 said LCMS artistic director Elizabeth Bergmann. 芒鈧揟he performers are stunning musicians who bring the music of this period to life with a freshness and vibrancy that is insightful, rich and wonderfully expressive.芒鈧
Using period instruments, Stile Moderno is able to create a warmer and richer sound.
