FRANCONIA — The North Country Chamber Players will present the second weekend of free concerts for the White Mountains Music Festival at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 1, and 4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 2, at the Dow Pavilion in Franconia. The "Baroque Masterpieces" concerts will feature some of the most popular works written in the Baroque Period (1600-1750) and will include Handel's "Water Music, Suite No. 3" and Bach's beloved "Brandenburg Concerto No.2."
The programs begin with a suite from the incidental music for the stage play Abdelazer (“The Moor’s Revenge”) by the English composer Henry Purcell (1659–1695). Purcell is considered to be England's most important composer before the 20th century and his music presents a uniquely British style of Baroque music.
