Description

As the travel journals of Charles Burney illustrate, journeys in the Baroque period were at times uncomfortable and dangerous. Travellers were rewarded by the stimulating experience of new sights, sounds and ideas.
Staying comfortably seated in Handel’s music room, join Flautotonic for a Baroque journey through a wealth of countries and cultures: from the exquisite French court, to an atmospheric Irish tavern and on towards the colourful sounds of South America.
