Special Presentation: The Musette–A Musical Journey
In the early 1800’s a wave of emigrants from rural Auvergne flowed into Paris. With them came their bagpipe-type instrument called the musette. Over the next 150 years, the term musette gained a new identity, with musical influences like the waltz, polka, and American jazz; social influences derived from the Parisian underworld; and most importantly, the accordion. In this fun and informative concert, DiGiuseppe traces this musical development from the early Auvergnat bagpipe music through the swing musette of Paris.
