Musica Angelica\u2019s free community concerts return and are scheduled throughout Long Beach and Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
Each concert in the series features a performance from a soloist or small ensemble from Musica Angelica playing period baroque music with historically accurate instruments. The musicians follow-up with a discussion and Q&A session about the music, its composers, instruments, and the context of the Baroque period. The event also includes ticket discounts, and a ticket giveaway to an upcoming concert. All ages are welcome.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe intention of our free community concerts is to make the music and artform of historically informed performance available to everyone in our community,\u201d said Matthew Faulkner, Executive Director of Musica Angelica, \u201cWe aim to enlighten and educate our audience about baroque music using period instruments that replicate the sound of this music as it was originally heard 300 years ago.\u201d <\/p>\n
