Listen

William Boyce was baptized September 11, 1711, and we're celebrating with a program devoted to his music! He's primarily remembered for his church music, but a modern edition of his symphonies declared they were "among the finest compositions of their time, not only in England, but in Europe." We'll hear a wide array of Boyce's musical offerings, including selections from one of his odes, symphonies, chamber music, and an organ work.
