For having married a common citizen\, King Charles exiled the Infante from the Madrid Court to the Arenas de San Pedro palace in Ávila province. As a courtier of Luis Antonio\, Boccherini joined the exile\, and found himself with much time for composition\, and there completed more than one hundred quintets for various instruments. \n\nOf the ‘Musica notturna delle strade di Madrid’\, Boccherini wrote: ”The piece is absolutely useless\, even ridiculous\, outside Spain\, because the audience cannot hope to understand its significance\, nor the performers to play it as it should be played.” We will do our best to prove Boccherini wrong! The music appears in the 2003 feature film ‘Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World’. \n\nLearn more here: https://www.showpass.com/pacific-baroque-2026-concert-4/ \n\n\n\nAbout the Pacific Baroque Festival\nThe Pacific Baroque Festival is an annual festival hosted by the Victoria Conservatory of Music     (Victoria\, BC\, Canada) in collaboration with Christ Church Cathedral\, Victoria. \n\nPacific Baroque Festival 2026 celebrates its 22nd year from February 25 – March 1\, 2026.\n‘Spanish Connections\,’ will include 5 events with programs intended to highlight the extraordinary music of baroque Spain. \n\n\nVenue Accessibility\n\nThe 900 Johnson Street entrance is wheelchair accessible at street level.

This Italian fashion was also championed by the second wife of Philip V\, Elizabeth Farnese\, who was influential in attracting the Neapolitan Domenico Scarlatti to the royal court in Madrid.  The Spanish composer José de Nebra likely greeted Scarlatti as he was harpsichord teacher to the Portuguese Barbara of Braganza\, future queen to King Ferdinand VI. Both Ferdinand and Barbara had a profound passion for music\, and their reign reflected a true musical paradise\, dominated by musicians such as the celebrated singer Farinelli. \n\nSoprano Rachel Allen has gone from singing in the Pacific Baroque Festival as a member of the Victoria Children’s Choir and studies at the Victoria Conservatory of Music to appearing in the concert halls of London and Europe and on the BBC. We are pleased to welcome her back to perform cantatas by the Spanish composer José de Nebra (a work unearthed a mere 25 years ago in the archives of the cathedral of Guatemala City) and the Neapolitan Domenico Scarlatti\, best known for his 555 keyboard sonatas. \n\nLearn more here: https://www.pacbaroque.com/fervourandfantasy \n\n\n\nAbout the Pacific Baroque Festival\nThe Pacific Baroque Festival is an annual festival hosted by the Victoria Conservatory of Music     (Victoria\, BC\, Canada) in collaboration with Christ Church Cathedral\, Victoria. \n\nPacific Baroque Festival 2026 celebrates its 22nd year from February 25 – March 1\, 2026.\n‘Spanish Connections\,’ will include 5 events with programs intended to highlight the extraordinary music of baroque Spain. \n\n\nVenue Accessibility\n\nThe 900 Johnson Street entrance is wheelchair accessible at street level.
