Details

Our season begins with some of the most expressive music for voices ever conceived. In November we will present WONDER, featuring the colorfully imaginative music of Carlo Gesualdo, the late Renaissance Italian eccentric. We still marvel at the ways Gesualdo stretched the musical language of his day with chromaticism and word painting. An ensemble of ten singers will present selections from Gesualdo’s late madrigals, composed between 1590 and 1610. The program will feature guest instrumentalists Sandra Wong (violin and nykelharpa) and Ann Marie Morgan (viola da gamba).
