Bach Akademie Charlotte: Venetian Vespers

  • Myers Park Presbyterian Church Charlotte, NC USA (map)

Claudio Monteverdi’s vocal works evoke all the mystery and magic of Venice—labyrinthian canals, splendid gold mosaics, ageless bridges, and the light on the piazza at Vesper’s chime. Centuries-old Latin religious texts take on all the thrill and opulence of Monteverdi's Venice—bold, bravura music to inspire, dazzle, and enthrall. 

Excerpts from Monteverdi's monumental "Vespers of 1610"
Motets and spiritual madrigals from Selva morale e spirituale
