Inspired by the concept of the European “Grand Tour” – a rite of passage for many of England’s young elite – Symphony Nova Scotia’s upcoming concert will take listeners on a tour spanning England, France, Italy and Germany to enjoy music from the Baroque. This presentation will be your traveler’s guide: using musical examples and giving particular attention to the Italian inspirations behind much of this music, I will introduce you to the genres, styles, and composers you will encounter along this delightful musical journey.
