Further information

In the 18th century, Scotland experienced an unprecedented period of artistic creativity and growth. Probably the most enduring result of this spurt of activity was the fusion of the songs and the fiddle and dance music of the Highlands with forms and formations of Italian art music. Join our international Folk Baroque Ensemble on a musical tasting tour that traces the life path and encounters of two Franceschi. In predicted high spirits, we continue across the “big pond” to the country where later millions of people were to look for a better future. They preserved what they brought with them from their old homeland, throwing it into a big melting pot together with many other cultures. Isn't there a very salutary message in all of this for our present-day lives?
