In Kapaka, you may be joined by drunken sailors and swaggering whores. Drunken mercenaries and brawlers should be identified immediately and avoided. Pickpockets, beggars and swindlers are also on the move.
In downtown pubs, reputable musicians organise a different kind of evening. The musicians find a public space in the taverns that is beyond the influence of the courts and the church. The Mitre Inn in London and Zimmermann’s coffee house in Leipzig are the stage for a new form of gathering, the public concert.
This was the case in the 17th century, the golden age of the gamba. In October in Helsinki, we’ll be coming to a tavern with gambas to see what kind of company we’ve found ourselves in. That’s where our music begins!
Music: Henry Purcell, John Eccles, Orlando Gibbons, Tobias Hume, Olli Virtaperko, as well as folk songs and beggar opera.
Tickets 20 / 15 € from http://www.glivelab.fi/
