CGA's Best Interview excerpts

A playlist featuring the artists coming to MB1800 in our 44th Season. 

Music Before 1800 is the longest running early music concert series in New York City. We have been presenting vocal and instrumental chamber music at Corpus Christi Church for over 40 years, with programs of sacred and secular music ranging from Medieval to early Classical. Offering artists of the highest caliber, we present audience favorites as well as rising stars. Our artists, including New York’s finest ensembles, come from across the United States, Canada and Europe.

Our Thursday evening offsite concerts are held in different locations in Manhattan. For our 44th season, all three will take place at The Kosciuszko Foundation.
