Dorian Baroque Orchestra to Present IN DRURY LANE: MUSIC OF THE ENGLISH THEATER, 4/26

Dorian Baroque presents an orchestral concert titled:
"In Drury Lane: Music of the English Theater" featuring baroque incidental stage music written during the Restoration Period in England. At a time when most composers were employed in courts and churches, the late 17th century gave way to the new trend of public concerts where composers could write music for the amusement and pleasure of a paying audience. The orchestra will perform music by Purcell, Locke, Handel, Avison, and Boyce and there will be a Meet & Greet Tea reception immediately following the concert.

Sunday, April 26th, 2014 at 3pm
The Church of the Epiphany, 1393 York Avenue at 74th Street, New York, NY 10021
