Baroque Music Montana presents: Lands of the Free: Languages of Improvisation
August 15 @ 6:00pm
Baroque Music Montana (BaMM) presents a one-hour concert program “Lands of the Free: Languages of Improvisation.” This program spotlights the transient, composer-as-performer elements which define music of the 17th century, while exploring ties with their native European languages. Musicians might improvise over a repeated chord progression, add ornaments and cadenzas to embellish written notes, or ‘realize’ a bass line through improvised rhythmic patterns and chord choices, all based on the musical code of baroque style to dazzling expressive effect.
This program is curated by violinist and composer Manami Mizumoto, who is equally at home on the baroque violin, electric violin, and as composer, having grown up in the experimental environment of New York City. The other musicians include The Juilliard School’s baroque cello teacher, Phoebe Carrai, as well as BaMM regulars lutenist John Lenti and baroque violinist Carrie Krause. The repertoire is a representative tour of 17th century European musical centers, with works by Pachelbel, Corelli, Matteis, Monteclair, Kerrl, Ortiz, and Isabella Leonarda.
Concert is 6pm Thursday August 15th at Paul and Carrie’s backyard at 500 Black Bear Rd in Bozeman. This special outdoor venue does involve parking along a dirt road or grassy field, going up an inclined driveway, and ascending stairs or a grassy slope to the seating area. We have priority parking for those that need it at the top of the driveway. If you might need assistance, with parking or seating, please let us know and we will happily assist you.
