La Fiocco is thrilled to welcome back BALAM Dance Theatre for a performance of theatrical dances of France, England, and Germany. BALAM artistic director, Carlos Fittante, has created lavish Baroque dances to Jean-Baptiste Lully’s March of the Turks (1670), Handel’s Chaconne from Terpsicore (1734), and dances by Johann Bernhard Bach (c. 1730). Also featured is a reconstruction of a 1711 Baroque dance notation of the exquisite Passacaille d’Armide by Anthony L’Abbé to music by Lully (1686). And of course, the audience is invited to join us in a final dance.

In keeping with the spirit, La Fiocco musicians will also perform a set of English Masque dances published in 1621, selections from Henry Purcell’s The Married Beau (1694) and The Fairy Queen (1692), the Bizzaria: La Spagniola by William Corbett (1728), and a trio sonata for voice flutes and continuo by Louis Antoine Dornel (1709).

Seating is limited at both our Princeton and Solebury venues! Tickets must be purchased in advance using the link below. Hope to see you there.
