La Fiocco specializes in music of the 17th and 18th centuries on period instruments. The program entitled "The Fiddler's Dance" will explore music for courtly entertainments from early 17th-century England and France, a "battle piece" depicting the triumph of good over evil from Spanish Naples, popular English ballads and dances c. 1640 to 1700, and traditional and patriot music from Colonial America. Artistic director Lewis R. Baratz conceived the program as a journey through time, and one that pays tribute both to the Elizabethan origins of much music heard on the Continent and in Colonial and Revolutionary America, and to the importance of the dance tradition in courtly and domestic music.
The performers are Lewis R. Baratz (recorder, tin whistle, mountain dulcimer, and bodhrán); Nadir Aslam (baroque violin); Vivian Barton Dozor (viola da gamba); Jorge Torres (lute and baroque guitar); and Benjamin T. Berman (harpsichord and tenor).
