An Evening of Purcell - The English Baroque

News

If you've hummed along with the trumpet solo introduction to CBS Sunday Morning or enjoyed the soundtrack of the recent movie The Favourite, then you have been enjoying Baroque music. Join us for a program about Henry Purcell, the most famous of English composers up until the 20th century, who uniquely composed Baroque vocal music shaped by the natural prosody of English speech.

John Joyce, musicologist and former professor of music at Tulane University, will be our speaker during an evening of cocktails and dinner at the New Orleans Country Club, Founders Room:
