From the Tourdion to the Tango (February 17, 2008)

Rather last minute, but if any of my readers are in New York City, I will be doing some dance commentary at a concert by the New York Consort of Viols tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 p.m. in Manhattan.  A flier is here.  The music will primarily be 14th-18th century dance music as well as some period and modern pieces inspired by dance music.  My comments will be popularly oriented rather than academic - brief introductory remarks in between pieces, not a lecture.
