The concert will include madrigals by Di Lasso, Gesualdo and Gastoldi on themes that every rock star loves: wine, women, and song. To complement the male perspective on love, a female Italian poet of the Renaissance, Isabella Andreini, sings of her desire in a new motet composed by our own Marcia Jenneth Epstein. Monteverdi was also a star of the motet, but one or two arias from "The Coronation of Poppea" reveal why Italians fell in love with the opera.
The music this evening will also transport hearers to the heavenly realms via the rock star of the church music scene in sixteenth-century Rome, Palestrina, whose Tu Es Petrus mass and motet fit perfectly with our theme.
Our guest musicians Racheal Cogan and Alan Jessop plan to enchant you with the music of Frescobaldi and other Italian masters, accompanied by Jane Perry on harpsichord.
Tickets $20 reg, $15 student/senior, under-18 free.
