The Grand Tour with Kathryn Cok
In the 17th and 18th centuries, sons—and occasionally daughters—of wealthy families were sent on a Grand Tour through the major cities of Europe to make connections and experience the rich art and music flourishing in Europe at that time. This program is a selection of continents, composers, and styles and reflects the virtuosity and variety of music composed for and performed on the harpsichord during this period. Kathryn Cok will introduce the program and highlight some of the lesser-known composers and pieces.
