3. VIRTUAL Vox Luminis: Monteverdi's Vespers

About this event

Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 is a monumental work of sacred music that bridges the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Published while Monteverdi was working in Mantua, it combines traditional Gregorian chant with innovative compositional techniques of the emerging Baroque style. Using one voice per part and a company of ace period instrumentalists, Vox Luminis and Lionel Meunier direct their exceptional collective artistry and long experience of music from the early Baroque to the performance of one of western classical music’s richest achievements.
