While Italy was busy acquiring its status as the center of the 17th and 18th century musical world, composers and performers in north Germany, Scandinavia, England, and Holland were busy developing their own unique sound by blending Italian influences with a distinctly northern sensibility and style. San Francisco's free-spirited early music powerhouse Agave Baroque offers up this program of fiery, bold, and inventive works by Dieterich Buxtehude, Samuel Peter Sidon, David Peterson, John Blow, and Johan Helmich Roman.
Pacific MusicWorks Underground presents their first season of Underground Bach Party concerts at the funky and fabulous Royal Room in Columbia City – a winning combination of great food, drink, music, company, and their signature Underground multimedia experience.
