From Venice to Vienna

Saturday, March 23, 8:00 PM
Calvary Episcopal Church, Shadyside

Hailed by Early Music America as “groundbreaking, gutsy and fresh”, ACRONYM* explores the cross-fertilization of 17th-century musical styles between the masters of Venice and Vienna, and the subsequent transmission of these ideas by German and Austrian composers throughout Europe. This program with 11 superb players includes favorites from ACRONYM’s first five recordings: works by Pruili, Valentini, Bertali, Capricornus, Pezel, and Rosenmuller. A not-to-be-missed first appearance on the R&B series.
