Orchestra of New Spain presents
The Italian Influence!
From Haydn to Courcelle, Boccherini to Farinelli, musicians of this era were under an Italian spell!
From Haydn to Courcelle, Boccherini to Farinelli, and expanding to the New World - composers of this era were all under an Italian spell – especially so in the Spanish Court under the patronage of the Italian born Queen Isabel Farnesio. As well, gifted Italian chapel masters were posted in cathedrals in the Americas during the transition from the late baroque to the early classical era.
