baroque and classical music
Aroque music describes a style of European classical music extending from the year 1600 to approximately 1750. It forms a major portion of the classical music canon being widely studied, performed and listened to by enthusiasts today.
Among its composers are Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, George Frederic Handel, Henry Purcell, A. Corelli, and others. These composers made changes in musical notation along with developing new instrumental playing techniques. It may have been the most influential period for classical music to date.
The 2016 Baroque Music Festival Concert will once again be presented in partnership with First Presbyterian Church of Royal Oak, and will feature many extremely talented artists and professional ensembles performing for you. The concert will be held in the autumn this year for the first time (usually a Spring event) – date to be announced soon. The church is located at 529 Hendrie Blvd., Royal Oak 48067. .
