BRATTLEBORO-In Stile Moderno presents "Enfin la beauté: Delights of the French Baroque" at the Brattleboro Music Center Friday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m.
The concert will feature airs and secular pieces by Étienne Moulinié, Sébastien Le Camus, Joseph Chabanceau de La Barre, and others.
In Stile Moderno is an ensemble for early music, founded in Basel, Switzerland, in 2012 by soprano Agnes Coakley and lutenist/cornetist Nathaniel Cox. Named after the "modern style" of music which emerged in Italy around 1600, the ensemble members say they are dedicated to music of the 17th century and "combine fidelity to historical performance practice with a drive to make early music accessible and relevant to modern audiences."
Both as a lute and voice duo and in larger formations with cornetto, organ, voice, and plucked instruments, In Stile Moderno has performanced 17th-century music in Boston, Vermont, and New York, as well as in concert series in Switzerland, Germany, and France. Performing Oct. 18 will be Agnes Coakley Cox, soprano; Corey Shotwell, tenor; and Nathaniel Cox, theorbo and lute.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door and are available at bmcvt.org, 802-257-4523, or by emailing [email protected].
