Vlad loves to pluck tidbits of history from the books and turns them into journeys of sound on Vox Nostra: this week is bookended by the birthday and anniversary of Jeanne Baret (or Baré or Barret), known as the first woman to circumnavigate the globe. She lived from 1740 to 1807 but what was the soundtrack of her life and times? Vlad will delve into music during the lifetime of Jeanne Baret, and travel the paths of her grand tour du monde as inspiration for this Sunday’s Vox Nostra.
