 ert of music from Lafayette's lifetime performed on early 19th-century in
 struments. Join researchers and historical-performance specialists Domini
 c Giardino (historical clarinets) and Dr. Chris Troiano (serpent) to expe
 rience the music that underscored Lafayette's French Revolutionary career
 . The Age of Revolutions (1775-1848) was a period of social\, political\,
  and cultural turbulence in Europe and the Americas. There was perhaps no
  greater witness to this era of dramatic change than Gilbert du Motier\, 
 Marquis de Lafayette. This lecture/performance\, with Lafayette's leaders
 hip of the Garde Nationale Parisienne as the focal point\, will transport
  listeners to the desperate but optimistic early days of the French Revol
 ution when music left the aristocratic great rooms of Versailles and pour
 ed onto the streets of Paris. \n\nAbout the Performers\nBased in Williams
 burg\, VA\, historical clarinetist Dominic Giardino enjoys a varied profe
 ssional life exploring the intersections of history and performance. Domi
 nic is the executive director of the Tucson-based concert series Arizona 
 Early Music\, develops music programming for the Colonial Williamsburg Fo
 undation\, and is a member of Early Music America's board of directors. A
 s a clarinetist\, he has recorded with the Smithsonian Chamber Players\, 
 Three Notch'd Road: The Virginia Baroque Ensemble\, and Newberry's Victor
 ian Cornet Band. Dominic earned his B.M. in performance at the Eastman Sc
 hool of Music\, and his M.M. in early music as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar i

 t Band\, a mid-19th century brass band that performs music of the America

 , La Musique de la Garde Nationale Parisienne \n<br />\n<br />In commemor
 ation of the 250th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette?s 1824-25 tour
  of the United States\, enjoy a lecture/concert of music from Lafayette?s
  lifetime performed on early 19th-century instruments. Join researchers a
 nd historical-performance specialists Dominic Giardino (historical clarin
 ets) and Dr. Chris Troiano (serpent) to experience the music that undersc
 ored Lafayette?s French Revolutionary career. The Age of Revolutions (177
 5?1848) was a period of social\, political\, and cultural turbulence in E
 urope and the Americas. There was perhaps no greater witness to this era 
 of dramatic change than Gilbert du Motier\, Marquis de Lafayette. This le
 cture/performance\, with Lafayette?s leadership of the Garde Nationale Pa
 risienne as the focal point\, will transport listeners to the desperate b
 ut optimistic early days of the French Revolution when music left the ari
 stocratic great rooms of Versailles and poured onto the streets of Paris.
  \n<br />\n<br />About the Performers\n<br />Based in Williamsburg\, VA\,
  historical clarinetist Dominic Giardino enjoys a varied professional lif
 e exploring the intersections of history and performance. Dominic is the 
 executive director of the Tucson-based concert series Arizona Early Music
 \, develops music programming for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, 
 and is a member of Early Music America?s board of directors. As a clarine
 tist\, he has recorded with the Smithsonian Chamber Players\, Three Notch
 ?d Road: The Virginia Baroque Ensemble\, and Newberry?s Victorian Cornet 
 Band. Dominic earned his B.M. in performance at the Eastman School of Mus
 ic\, and his M.M. in early music as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in The Hague
 \, where he studied with Eric Hoeprich.\n<br />\n<br />Dr. Chris Troiano 
 is the Historical Ensembles Program Manager at George Mason University in
  Fairfax\, VA and is the Program Director of the 8th Green Machine Regime
 nt Band\, a mid-19th century brass band that performs music of the Americ
 an Civil War on period brass instruments. Chris is also the co-host of th
 e Early American Brass Band Podcast\, a podcast focusing on sharing resea
 rch and performances of brass bands from 1835-2023. Chris? primary instru
 mental focus is low brass and he is an active teacher and performer on eu
 phonium\, baritone\, trombone\, ophicleide\, and military serpent. \n<br

  historian Catherine Weinraub takes us back through the centuries to reve
 al the history of fire-fighting in our city. The Friendship Fire Company\
 , established in 1774\, was the first fire company in Alexandria. Friends
 hip members were volunteers concerned for the well-being of the community
 . By the mid-19th century\, there were five Alexandria volunteer fire com
 panies: Friendship\, Sun\, Relief\, Star and Hydraulion. They fought fire
 s large and small\, including three major fires in 1827\, 1855 and 1871. 
 Today the historic Friendship Firehouse on South Alfred Street in Old Tow
 n is a City of Alexandria museum.\n<br />\n<br />Light refreshments will 
 be served.    \n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />Location: Lyceum\n<br />Fee

  of the Regiment\, a period-instrument wind band specializing in military
  music from the 18th and 19th centuries for a concert of late 18th and ea
 rly 19th-century military music. \n<br />\n<br />In 1798\, an advertiseme
 nt under the heading MARTIAL MUSIC petitioned the citizens of Alexandria 
 to organize a wind band ?for the accommodation and embellishment? of the 
 city?s nine militia companies. The advertisement called for the establish
 ment of a band of music to be funded by the militia and to be comprised o
 f four clarinets\, two horns\, and two bassoons. This band\, known as the
  Alexandria Band\, was one of several ?martial? ensembles that were activ
 e in Alexandria and\, more broadly\, Washington City during the early Fed
 eral Period (1790?1830). Learn about the interconnectivity of the Alexand
 ria Band\, the Marine Band\, and the ?Italian? Marine Band  ensembles tha
 t defined the musical soundscape of the nascent capital. \n<br />\n<br />
