Music @The Playhouse: Tesserae Baroque Ensemble – “The Grand Tour”

The period-instrument sensation Tesserae Baroque Ensemble returns to Sierra Madre Playhouse on Saturday March 30, 2034, 4 pm, with “The Grand Tour.” This captivating musical quest features Baroque masterworks from an era when it was fashionable for European aristocrats to undertake extended cultural tours across the continent. Maxine Eilander, a master of the Baroque harp, and Stephen Stubbs, equally skilled on lute and guitar, serve as musical tour guides for this memorable St. Patrick's Day program, touching on the operatic innovation of Monteverdi's Italy and delving into the enchanting melodies of Ireland, including the music of Ireland’s legendary blind harpist, Turlough O’Carolan. Sierra Madre Playhouse is located at 87 West Sierra Madre Boulevard, Sierra Madre, CA 91024. For tickets ($35-$45) and information, please call (626) 355-4318 or visit www.sierramadreplayhouse.org.
