Music @The Playhouse: Tesserae Baroque Ensemble - “Ferrara 1590” at Sierra Madre Playhouse

Tesserae Baroque Ensemble returns to Sierra Madre Playhouse with “Ferrara 1590,” on Sunday, April 21, 2024, 2 pm. The period-instrument group brings to life the musical wonders of 16th-century Italy and the distinct schools of Italian keyboard music that culminated in the emergence of the Baroque style as epitomized by Girolamo Frescobaldi, a native of Ferrara, Italy, and a pivotal figure in the evolution of keyboard music. Ian Pritchard, a master of the harpsichord, delves into the vibrant keyboard traditions that influenced Frescobaldi's early career.
