What is it about music that stays with us, that lingers in the ear long after the hearing of it? What, exactly, makes an earworm an earworm?
After their scintillating virtual debut with SFEMS last season, recorder sensation Tabea Debus and lutenist Paul Holmes Morton explore the mystery and history of the earworm, taking us through some of the most memorable (whether we like it or not!) pieces of the 14th through the 18th centuries.
Whether you’ve attended early music concerts for decades, or are hearing these pieces for the first time, you’ll find yourself walking out the door humming the music of George Frideric Handel, Arcangelo Corelli, Henry Purcell, John Dowland, Claudio Monteverdi, and more!
PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, due to visa issues, Paul Holmes Morton, whom audiences will remember from last season’s Beneath A Tree: Baroque to Folk concert, will be performing in place of Alon Sariel for these concerts.
