Early Music New York presents Musical Geography II: Classical Sinfonias & Nocturnes

Early Music New YORK’s Orchestra of Original Instruments forges ahead through the later 18th century, continuing its sojourn “alla Turca.” The primary influence of the Ottoman Empire on Western music, including a significant impression on the composers of the First Viennese School, came through Turkish military bands. In contrast, the orchestra’s string band will be featured in Luigi Boccherini’s highly programmatic “La Musica Notturna di Madrid.”
