Description
Presented by Ars Lyrica Houston
Claudio Monteverdi’s Madrigals of Love and War transformed a venerable genre—the Renaissance part song—into dramatic scenes that rival the flamboyant art of Caravaggio or Bernini. By updating an old musical form, Monteverdi created a repertoire that is both timeless and singular: few madrigals from any age hold a candle to these masterworks for multiple voices and instruments.
Featured artists:
Erica Schuller, soprano
Amia Langer, soprano
Michael Skarke, countertenor
Steven Brennfleck, tenor
Thomas O’Neill, tenor
Enrico Lagasca, bass-baritone
Grammy-nominated ensemble Ars Lyrica Houston specializes in music from the Baroque era, transporting listeners back in time to the “golden age” of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Through performances on period instruments with careful attention to historical style and context, Ars Lyrica brings imaginative, world-class performances of early music to Houston.
