Music in NYC: Music of the 18th Century Grand Tour
The season finale of the Aspect Foundation concert series features soprano Pascale Beaudin and the Four Nations Ensemble with an illustrated talk by the author and historian John Brewer; at Bohemian National Hall on Thursday, May 30, 2019 at 7.30 pm
Touring the continent while learning its customs, history, and culture first hand was an educational standard for high society young people in the 18th century Europe. Instructive and entertaining, the rite of passage would take them through France and Italy with additional stops in Switzerland, Austria or Germany.
The Aspect Foundation offers to take us back in time on a virtual tour with musical stops in Paris, Venice, Rome, and Naples. An illustrated talk by John Brewer, author of The Pleasures of the Imagination, will accompany the journey. Featuring The Four Nations Ensemble and soprano Pascale Beaudin, the program will celebrate 18th century culture with music closely identified with the time and place.
Music of the Grand Tour on Thursday, May 30, 2019 at 7.30 pm concludes Aspect Foundation’s successful 2018-2019 season of enlightening concerts and talks.
