Musica Angelica: The Garden of Forking Paths

Musica Angelica, renowned period instrument early music ensemble based in Long Beach, presents The Garden of Forking Paths.

Taking inspiration from the 1941 story by Jorge Luis Borges said to foreshadow the quantum mechanics theory of a multiverse, virtuosic instrumental compositions of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, Henry Purcell, and Johann Heinrich Schmelzer form a labyrinth of musical routes where figuration and linearity are manipulated into fresh sonic narratives.
