Event Description

The Early Moderns – Vienna’s Rise

The brilliant American ensemble Quicksilver — “Revered like rock stars within the early music scene” (New York Times) — performs music reflecting the music in Austria in the early Baroque period, the first great period of Viennese music.

The program features the instrumental sonatas of composers including Schmeltzer, Kerll, Rosenmüller, Fux and Weichlein. The virtuosic ensemble presents a unique sound with the combination of strings, continuo, sackbut and dulcian.
