Newton Baroque presents Bringing it Home with Brescianello
2026-02-27 19:30 - 21:30 | Nathaniel Topliff Allen House, 35 Webster St., Newton, M, 02465, United States
Newton Baroque presents music of the Stuttgart Court.
Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello (ca. 1690 to 1758) grew up in Bologna and spent much of his career at the courts of Munich and Stuttgart. His Concerti a tre are richly imaginative trio sonatas that combine the intimacy of chamber music with the brilliance of concerto-style violin writing. Each work functions like a concerto for two violins, unfolding without the support of a full orchestra.
Like many Italian musicians who were recruited to German courts in the eighteenth century, Brescianello is not widely known today. In his own time, however, he was highly respected, particularly for his violin concertos. These works offer a vivid glimpse into the cosmopolitan musical life of the German courts and showcase a distinctive voice at the crossroads of Italian virtuosity and German refinement.
