Nash Baroque in partnership with period dance troupe, the San Francisco Renaissance dancers, are the proud recipients of a grant from Inter Music SF for upcoming performances of “The Dancing Master” in San Francisco and Berkeley. www.intermusicSF.org

The solo cantatas of Bach are a particularly rich trove in which to find French dance forms and two performances with guest soprano,  Jennifer Paulino will explore influences of 18th century French dance forms on the music of J.S. Bach. 

Audiences will be transported to a time when this collaboration between music and dance flourished, illustrating what composers and dancing masters of the baroque era thought to be a perfect harmony of artistic expression. 

Each concert will be followed by an invitation for the audience to learn a simple Baroque social dance.
