Apollo’s Fire: Blues Café 1610
Saturday 15 April 2023
9:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Apollo’s Fire invites you back to 1610 for a musical tour of pubs and taverns. The sounds of violin, hammered dulcimer, plucked instruments, and ney (Middle Eastern flute) evoke haunting ballads and lively dances from around the world. A Scottish lament meets an Italian dance, while a Sephardic love song leads to a wild Turkish party tune.
“Sheer delight… imagine Monteverdi and other luminaries of the early Baroque era gathered in an Italian café, trading ideas over generous glasses of vino while the band improvises on their latest musical creations. Bachtrack.com
Please note that this concert has no interval.
