A special free concert is coming to Emporia on Sunday.
Emporia State University’s Department of Music is hosting “A Concert of Baroque Chamber Music” at the Granada Theatre. Music department chair Allan Comstock says the baroque period lasted from around 1500 to 1750. It was important to music because it’s time when our current sense of tonality, or sense of musical chords and progressions, started developing. It was also a time when composers wrote music for a popular audience.
Among the pieces to be performed include Telemann’s Paris Quartet No. 6 and Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5.
The concert starts at 2 pm. It’s part of the Edith Lessenden Chandler Recital Series sponsored by Drs. Margaret and Doug Aman.
