The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Information is very pleased to present an evening of music from the late 16th to early 18th century performed by Frank Fairfield and J.R. Kaufman on violin and harpsichord.
Museum members receive early access to concert tickets. To learn more about this and other benefits, please visit our Membership page.
Frank Fairfield and J.R. Kaufman study the historically informed performance of Western art music from the late sixteenth to early eighteenth centuries. Their repertoire includes polyphonic bicinia of the late Renaissance, divisions on a ground, and sonatas da chiesa and da camera of the High Baroque. Primarily known for studying and performing Anglo American and Eastern European vernacular music, respectively, Fairfield and Kaufman bring the sensitivities of natural music to the practice of high art music.
For these sets they will perform compositions by Thomas Morley, Giovanni Antonio Paandolfi, Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Jean Fery-Rebel, Jean Marie-Leclair, Giuseppe Tartini, and Francesco Barsanti.
ALL RESERVATIONS ARE WILL-CALL.
