Early Music Vancouver is pleased to present Boccheriniana, a celebration of Luigi Boccherini, one of the most delightful and original voices of the classical era.
The highly anticipated concert showcases two of his flute quintets and a string trio alongside chamber music by household names such as Mozart and J.C. Bach as well as a string quartet by Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen, the best-known female composer of this genre.
During this time, now known for its elegant “galant” music, Boccherini championed his instrument, the cello, and played as a travelling virtuoso until he settled in Madrid as court composer.
