"Them Foreigners"

  • Advent Lutheran Church 2504 Broadway New York, NY (map)

Many Baroque composers made musical characterizations of peoples who were exotic to them, such as Native Americans, Turkish, Polish, and French. Tapping into the current national issues about immigration and racism, Repast presents a cultural flashback to relevant issues of encountering “the other” in musical discourse.

Works by Telemann, Rameau, and Guignon.

Performers:
Amelia Roosevelt & Beth Wenstrom, violins
