"First Friday Concerts"

St. David's Episcopal Church
4700 Roland Ave.
Baltimore, MD  21210
​7:30 pm


Giovanniana!

​If you were a musician in Venice ca. 1600-30, you would have been surrounded by a whole lot of people named Giovanni. Among them, a "posse" formed around Giovanni Gabrieli (1557-1612), who was the town's most influential church musician, with a strong reputation that attracted musicians far and wide to study with him. This program includes some exciting instrumental music making use of both sonic spatial effects and flashy virtuosity from the pen of Gabrieli, his colleague Giovanni da Bassano, and his pupils Giovanni Priuli, Giovanni Martino Cesare, Giovanni Grillo, and Giovanni Picchi.
