The Ursuline Sisters of Louisville will present “Bourbon Baroque: An evening of 18th century orchestral music from the Ursuline Manuscript” Sept. 23 from 7 pm. to 8:15 p.m. at the Ursuline Motherhouse Chapel, 3115 Lexington Road.
The event is the fourth in a series of events celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Ursuline Motherhouse Chapel.
Bourbon Baroque “specializes in the historically informed performance of the 17th and 18th-century music inspired by the art and culture of the royal House of Bourbon,” said a statement from the
Ursulines. The Ursuline manuscript is a collection of music written in France in 1727 and brought to New Orleans, La., around that time by a group of Ursuline sisters, according to Austin Clark, one of the founders of Bourbon Baroque.
