It's Baroque Week!
The baroque style of music was invented by the roman catholic church in the late 15th century. At first, it's practicers were instrumental novices and the compositions were very basic and it was generally a tool used by the church's inquisition used to punish and extract information from those unfortunate souls charged with Witchcraft. However, as the musicians became more skilled, baroque music spilled out of the torture dungeons and into society. By the 17th century and later, it had evolved into the style of classical music we know it as today. Join in our celebration of this rambunctious flavour of classical music!
