Baroque music group celebrates Chinese history By Vincent Geerts Ames247 writer Mid-December last year, baroque period music group ¡Sacabuche! toured Beijing. Their program, “Matteo Ricci: His Map and Music,” was received well at all of the major universities and performance arts centers they played — including the China National Center for Performing Arts. “That’s like playing the Kennedy Center here,” Linda Lieberman said. She was in part responsible for bringing the group to the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall on Sunday. After discovering the program through her friend and artistic director for the group, she was excited to have the opportunity of inviting them to perform in Ames. The group is named after a predecessor of the modern trombone, the
sackbut. It is a central instrument in the group’s performance, along with other baroque period instruments like the cornetto, played by both faculty and students of Indiana University Jacob’s School of Music. The group has come a long way from their humble roots as a collegiate ensemble based from Indiana University Jacob’s School of Music Early Music Institute. ¡Sacabuche! artistic director and baroque trombonist Linda Pearse began the group only a few years before they received standing ovations during June 2010’s Berkley Early Music Festival. This Sunday, they will perform the same program which won international and critical acclaim. This multimedia performance celebrates the cultural exchange of 17th century Italian Jesuits and Chinese literati, inspired by the 400th anniversary of the death of
