This concert features a less-known but exquisitely charming type of Baroque music – the music that was written for people to enjoy in the comfort of their homes and other informal settings. In the eighteenth century, before the internet, television, and radio, when people wanted music in their homes, they often made it themselves. And amateur musicians often reached a high standard of performance. This concert will feature the music of Georg Philipp Telemann (1681 – 1767), Joseph Bodin de Boimortier (1689 – 1755), and members of the Flemish Loeillet family – composers who profited significantly from composing and selling mail-order music to be enjoyed in domestic settings. The performers will be Joel Evans, oboe; Ruthanne Schempf, harpsichord; Christiana Fortune-Reader, viola and violin; Susan Seligman, cello; and Gregory Bynum, recorder.$20 General Admission
