Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610
We really can hardly wait to perform Claudio Monteverdi’s Vespers for you in the magnificent acoustics of Madison’s First Congregational Church. Renowned choral conductor Andrew Megill from Northwestern University will direct fifteen outstanding period-instrument specialists and nine internationally acclaimed vocal soloists in a masterwork that bridges late-Renaissance celestial, melismatic choral writing with dramatic, angular, early Baroque operatic style—where the music often follows the grain of the text. There is no explaining this one-of-a-kind, spellbinding work that seems to invent its own form as it moves along. At every surprising turn of events, one feels a sense of the inexorable: “Yes, I never could have thought of it, but that is just where we need to go next.” Come, experience Vespers with us!
