Programme Note
Devon Baroque presents A Grand Tour, a musical evocation of a typical European tour undertaken by a well-to-do English family in the 18th century, starting and ending in London and visiting Paris, Venice, Rome and other European cities. A slide show will accompany music from the most famous composers of each stopping-off place, with descriptions from diaries and letters of the delights and agonies of travel before cars and trains.
