In Stile Moderno: Delights of the French Baroque

In Stile Moderno presents “Enfin la beauté: Delights of the French Baroque” at the Brattleboro Music Center Friday, October 18, at 7:00 p.m.

The concert will feature courtly airs and secular pieces by Étienne Moulinié, Sébastien le Camus, Joseph Chabanceau de La Barre, and others.

In Stile Moderno is an ensemble for early music, founded in Basel, Switzerland in 2012 by soprano Agnes Coakley and lutenist/cornetist Nathaniel Cox. Named after the “modern style” of music which emerged in Italy around 1600, the ensemble is dedicated to music of the 17th century and combines fidelity to historical performance practice with a drive to make early music accessible and relevant to modern audiences. Both as a lute and voice duo and in larger formations with cornetto, organ, voice, and plucked instruments, In Stile Moderno has charmed audiences with their engaging performances of seventeenth-century music in Boston, Vermont, and New York, as well as in concert series in Switzerland, Germany, and France. Performing October 18 will be Agnes Coakley Cox, soprano; Corey Shotwell, tenor; and Nathaniel Cox, theorbo and lute.
