This concert will take place at the Église de la Purification in Repentigny rather than at the Cathédrale de Joliette as originally planned. Ticket holders have been contacted directly.
1600 in Italy: music is in the midst of a revolution. The great composers of the time passionately embraced the new style, which placed the text and the expression of feelings-the affeti-in the foreground.
Guided by Claudio Monteverdi, Francesco Cavalli and Sigismondo d'India-among those who bestunderstood the change in aesthetic sensibility and musical language at the dawn of the Baroque-and sublimated by the voice of Mariana Flores, this bewitchingly gentle program is an invitation to introspection and contemplation.
Works by Arcadelt, Monteverdi, Cavalli, d’India.
