Sheridan College Presents Wyoming Baroque: Music of 1725

Sheridan College will present chamber music ensemble Wyoming Baroque on Friday, March 28, at 7 p.m. in Kinnison Hall, tickets range from $10 – $30.

Wyoming Baroque will present a unique program designed to transport audiences to the world of 1725, a year filled with artistic innovation and cultural exchange. The evening’s repertoire will highlight Baroque masterpieces and historical treasures, showcasing the dynamic spirit of the era.

The performance will feature Telemann’s Les Nations anciens et modernes, a cosmopolitan blend of French dance, Italian virtuosity, and Eastern European folk traditions. The program continues with Vivaldi’s La tempesta di mare, an exhilarating depiction of a storm at sea, and his beloved Spring Concerto from The Four Seasons, a vibrant celebration of nature’s renewal.

Additional highlights include Telemann’s cantata Gott will Mensch und sterblich werden, a powerful expression of Lutheran sacred music, and Bach’s pastoral aria Frische Schatten, offering a serene moment of beauty.

The concert will also feature Lisette quitté la plaine, the earliest known Haitian Creole poem set to a popular French melody. Possibly sung in colonial Louisiana’s first music school, this piece reflects the resilience and cultural blending of the early 18th century.

Join Wyoming Baroque for an evening that bridges tradition and transformation, celebrating the artistic vitality of this pivotal period in music history.
