Composers throughout the Renaissance and Baroque periods traveled extensively to learn about musical styles, to work in foreign courts, and to study with others. Many left their mark; many also brought back knowledge that served to reshape the direction of music all over Europe. German composers worked in England; English composers worked in Denmark; Italian madrigals were all the rage in England. Lauda Musicam may not be able to unravel the threads, but the ensemble will give the audience a closer look at the tapestry. The concert is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.
