Dyf_Marcel_A_Gypsy_Boy_Playing_A_Guitar_100v2

An unusual concert from the Mosely Chamber Music Series at Converse College in Spartanburg blends familiar concertos by Vivaldi and Telemann with lively selections by anonymous 18th century Roma composers. Ensemble Caprice, led by acclaimed recorder artist Matthias Mauthe, plays with trademark energy and dynamism. Then it’s a visit to the NC mountains for offbeat selections from a summer festival concert from Keowee Chamber Music.
