Generation Baroque presents early music on period-specific instruments. Just as the performers and audiences in today's performances span multiple different generational and cultural backgrounds, the music from the Baroque period stretched across these sizable barriers as well. From Italy, to Germany and France, and throughout the developing musical world in Western Europe, the Baroque period spanned centuries. For this reason, Generation Baroque believes in performance practice closely adhering to the specific time and place that this music was conceived. It is this curiosity in the time period and culture that reveals so much about the meaning and emotional impact of this golden period of musical creativity.
