“The Baroque period was one of extravagance and daring musical development. There were new instruments, new forms and styles, and new venues. We’ll pick up the story from Monteverdi’s stunning Vespers and trace it through to the genius of Bach.”

Fasten your seat belts, sit back and enjoy this classical music road trip with Dr Jonathan James in this second roadmap talk this Spring.

These one hour LIVE streamed talks are part of the Arts Active International Concert Series Extras, and support the International Concert Series programme at St David’s Hall.

The talks pack both essential information and fascinating tidbits into under an hour, and are delivered with a light touch by Dr Jonathan James from the piano. Whether new and curious to the scene or a concert veteran, there will be plenty there for you to enjoy.
