Burning River Baroque - Eccles, Finger, Purcell, Blow

Burning River Baroque's October 8, 2020, Midtown Concerts program “A Mad, Burning Desire” highlights the extraordinary accomplishments of the first English actresses who gained the legal right to take the public stage in the early 1660s. Many of these groundbreaking early modern women capitalized on the concurrent societal fascination with mental illness and catapulted themselves to fame by portraying characters who descended violently into lovesick madness on the Restoration stage.
The ensemble comprises Juilliard-educated Malina Rauschenfels, vocalist, cellist and baroque violinist; and harpsichordist and organist Dr. Paula Maust. Since its formation in 2012, Burning River Baroque has put on between 15 and 20 concerts each season. This is a return engagement for the group, who last performed for the Midtown Concert series in 2017.
