L'Arpeggiata
This music is old and new, at the same time. On today's show we'll hear a group from Paris called L'Arpeggiata. They play music from the 1600s and 1700s, but much of what they do is improvise around those pieces from hundreds of years ago. Listen to Monday's Performance Today for L'Arpeggiata from a gorgeous concert earlier this month at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
