June 10-12 , 2008: Seven Times Salt returns to the SoHIP Summer Concert Series with "A Brave Barrel of Oysters", an all-new concert program featuring the music of Restoration London, as framed by the diary entries of the inimitable Samuel Pepys. Perhaps the English language's most famous diarist, Pepys was a prosperous civil servant and "man-about-town" in 17th-century London, and the diaries that he kept fastidiously from 1660-1668 provide a revealing glimpse into the life of a middle-class bon vivant under the reign of the "merry monarch" Charles II. S.P. was an enthusiastic amateur musician who sang and played the lute, viol, and recorder; his diaries chronicle (among other adventures) his experiences making convivial music with both the best and the worst musicians that London had to offer. Playing on the very instruments that Pepys favored, STS will do our best to bring Pepys' bustling, bewigged, and sometimes bawdy London to life, ably assisted by our frequent collaborator Michael Barrett (tenor). Concerts run for three consecutive nights in Weston (Tuesday), Andover (Wednesday), and Boston's Back Bay (Thursday); tickets $20 General Admission/$15 Students and Seniors. All concerts are at 8:00 p.m.; for more information or to buy tickets online visit http://www.sohipboston.org.
