Italian Baroque (expired event)

The new music of 17th century Italy – opera, sonatas, cantatas and oratorios – called upon singers and players to move the emotions of the audience.

With fire, virtuosity and passion, we present a glimpse of some of the finest music of that age. Excerpts from Monteverdi’s l’Orfeo and Carissimi’s oratorio Jepthe will be heard alongside instrumental music by Corelli and Uccellini. Music Director: Stewart Smith Performed by: Classical Music students and staff
