SUMMARY:Bringing it Home with Brescianello: Concerti a tre from the Stuttgart Court
DESCRIPTION:Newton Baroque presents music of the Stuttgart Court.\nGiuseppe Antonio Brescianello (ca. 1690 to 1758) grew up in Bologna and spent much of his career at the courts of Munich and Stuttgart. His Concerti a tre are richly imaginative trio sonatas that combine the intimacy of chamber music with the brilliance of concerto-style violin writing. Each work functions like a concerto for two violins\, unfolding without the support of a full orchestra. \nLike many Italian musicians who were recruited to German courts in the eighteenth century\, Brescianello is not widely known today. In his own time\, however\, he was highly respected\, particularly for his violin concertos. These works offer a vivid glimpse into the cosmopolitan musical life of the German courts and showcase a distinctive voice at the crossroads of Italian virtuosity and German refinement. \nMore information available at https://www.newtonbaroque.org/

SUMMARY:The Black Feathers in Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Black Feathers\, a British duo described by Fatea Magazine as “a duo of undeniable talent\,” will play in concert on Thursday\, June 20\, at The Allen Center in West Newton (MA). The British couple Sian Chandler and Ray Hughes intertwine effortlessly to create a genre-defying sound combining elements of folk\, roots\, Americana\, and southern rock. Tickets and information can be found at newtonculture.org.\nChandler and Hughes first became aware of the magic between them while collaborating on several musical projects\, becoming The Black Feathers and life partners in 2012. Americana\, Folk\, and Acoustic Indie Rock sensibilities coexist comfortably in their musical world\, with Hughes’ guitar work buoying the kind of harmonies often only heard in family bands. Their music quickly draws the interest of listeners\, but it is the stage chemistry that will keep them riveted.\nThe Black Feathers’ debut EP Strangers We Meet was named one of “the best folk albums of 2014″ in The Telegraph and as the Sunday Mercury’s Number 1 Folk and Roots album of 2014. “Stunning harmonies that were so good it reminded me of seeing Gillian Welch and David Rawlings\,” wrote No Depression magazine\, and R2 Magazine proclaimed “their blend of English folk influences and Americana is a tasty concoction indeed.”\nHaving already built up a loyal following in the UK\, The Black Feathers have been spreading their wings across the US. They have performed at the Philadelphia Folk Festival and AmericanaFest and have also been awarded official showcases at the North East Regional and Far-West Folk Alliance conferences.
