The Diversion Connection

Listen to Full Show
/
Update RequiredTo play audio, update browser or Flash plugin.

A collage of the many meanings of "divertissement"

 

It’s music intended for the theater or ballet — although sometimes it’s not.

It’s usually scored for full orchestra — but not always.

It’s lighthearted and up-tempo — except when it isn’t.

In this hour, the quirky world of the divertissement—and its cousin, the divertimento—from Baroque to Modern.
