Our season begins with “Golden Treasures,” by familiar and lesser-known Italian composers of the Baroque. You’ll enjoy enchanting madrigals by Claudio Monteverdi and also by Barbara Strozzi, a rare female voice of the Baroque and one of the most prolific composers of vocal music in 17th-century Venice. We also perform two psalm settings by Salamone Rossi, unique among Baroque composers for his settings of Hebrew texts. We round out the program with two full-length sacred works: Vivaldi’s glorious Magnificat and the seldom-heard, richly polyphonic Missa Encarnación by Domenico Zipoli, an Italian composer who lived and worked in South America.
