The Faux and the Fabulous: Acronym Baroque String Ensemble

Perhaps because it is so distant and its style so ingratiating and universally pleasing, the Baroque period inspired many imposters. Leaving the baby on the doorstep of a good family to give him a better chance in life, many composers attributed their works to a more famous composer. Fakes unveiled will include Frescobaldi’s Toccata (by Cassado), Couperin’s Five Concert Pieces (by Bazelere) and C.P.E. Bach’s Andante (by Cassadeseus). ACRONYM, the 12-member string band, will also take us back further in time and introduce some authentic forgotten masterpieces of the pre-Baroque and Baroque eras.
