Italian Baroque Composers

Members of the Early Music performance and antiquarian collective Unknown Measures, Clara Abel (baroque cello) and Ben Katz (harpsichord), will reveal a recently-unearthed musical manuscript. This early 18th-century source for baroque cello music, now in Katz's collection, includes anonymous works that he has recently attributed to celebrated Italian Baroque composers including Alessandro Scarlatti and Domenica Gabrielli. They will discuss their artistic process and collaboration, and introduce the contents of the manuscript and lives of its composers.
