Musette Mania, or Dronology 101: 
Baroque chamber music for bagpipes, voice, and other instruments.  

7:30 pm, Thursday June 18
Sundin Hall, Hamline University, 1531 Hewitt Ave, St Paul
Presented by Early Music Minnesota, as part of the Twin Cities Early Music Festival

With Dick Hensold, Northumbrian smallpipes; Maria Jette, soprano; Bruce Jacobs, harpsichord; Joe Dolson, violin; and Anita Rieder, flute.

This concert is a repeat of last August’s sold-out concert at Plymouth Congregational Church. The 4th-most-popular instrument in the 18th-century (by numbers of publications—after keyboard, violin, and flute) was the French Baroque chamber bagpipe, then called the musette.  Hundreds of publications survive for this instrument, most of it chamber music by excellent composers unknown to modern audiences because they specialized in an instrument never heard today.

WHEN: June 18, 7:30 pm

WHERE:
Sundin Hall, at Hamline University, 1531 Hewitt Ave, St Paul 55104

TICKETS: Adult $30 | Student $10, available at: https://www.earlymusicmn.org/tickets/p/musette-mania
