“Slavic Baroque Music: The Convergence of European Culture East and West”

A presentation that will show not only how Russian and Eastern Europe jumped from their own medieval period into the baroque – skipping the Renaissance altogether – but how they integrated western European musical influences and forms with their own indigenous traditions to create a unique musical hybrid.
