Vespers in the Grand Venetian Style
Eight singers, strings, basso continuo, historical brass and winds. With members of Piffaro , The Renaissance Band.
Johann Rosenmüller, though born in Germany, worked in Venice as one of the successors of Monteverdi. His vespers music is equally glorious to Monteverdi's own on a grand scale, and his smaller scale music displays some of the finest instrumental virtuosity and melodic fluidity of the 17th century. Pre-concert lecture (included in ticket price) and other related events (Chant Camp with Susan Hellauer of Anonymous 4) will be announced at a later date.
Tickets: $40 for each concert, $20 rear seating ($10 off for students & seniors)
