Baroque gothic (or gothic baroque)
Vivaldi and Biber and Bach, oh my! Also Albinoni.
There was a concert at Rockefeller Chapel this evening. I always like going to concerts there because it's just gorgeously Gothic. This was a small crowd, so the seating was in the chancel and the choir stalls, right bang up in front of the Baroque Band. It was a lovely concert, despite a mishap with a violin string. It was rather warm and sticky, so by the end of the first half, a couple of the guys had removed their ties. When they came back after the intermission, all the guys had removed their ties, and the conductor said that he had told them that they could remove any item of clothing they wanted, "but fortunately they didn't". The women in the group were mostly sensibly dressed in loose, sleeveless dresses.
A while back, I discovered an outfit called Goldstar, through which one can get tickets to all sorts of events at reduced rates (with, of course, a slight fee). It's not always a better price than Hottix, but they seem to have more of these smaller events, and you can get tickets further ahead (Hottix is mostly same day tickets, though sometimes you can get them a couple of days ahead). So tonight's concert cost me $6.50.
