The Sebastians: Academy of Early Music
This New York City–based Baroque and classical music ensemble has been praised for its “sharp-edged and engaging” technique (New York Times) and ability to imbue early music with a “tremendous sense of life and nowness” (New York Classical Review). Tonight, they present “Over the Alps,” a program that traces the migration of Italian musical style as it spread northward in the 17th and 18th centuries—becoming, in the process, the defining sound of the Baroque. The ensemble includes violinists Nicholas DiEugenio and Daniel Lee, cellist Ezra Seltzer, and harpsichordist Jeffrey Grossman. Preceded at 6:45 p.m. by a talk. 7:30 p.m., St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 306 N. Division. $35 (seniors, $30; students, $10) in advance at academyofearlymusic.org/events/lyracle & (if available) at the door. $5 increase after Feb. 13. (734) 228–4338.
