Sufficient Grounds A program featuring the music of Purcell, Matteis, Uccellini, Rossi, Zanetti and others, including orginal compositions. The various work is united by a common reliance on the ground bass, a repeated harmonic pattern that forms the basis of some of the most memorable music from the 17th century. English consorts, Italian dances, Spanish divisions and Scots tunes all relied on grounds as a common currency. Seven Times Salt is excited to share music from these varied composers and traditions with you.   Suggested donation: $18 (or $36 or more if you can)
