Sospiri Ensemble: A Concert of Birds

We’ll let our imaginations take flight in a program based around bird song. 

Vocal and instrumental chamber works from the medieval through the baroque eras feature brilliant music by Rameau, De Bousset, Vaillant, Lawes, Scarlatti, Biber, and more. You’ll hear me at the harpsichord presenting a hilarious depiction, not of bird song, but of hen pecking.

Consortium Carissimi: Monteverdi

Again, the recipient of a City of Saint Paul Cultural Star grant, our program includes selections from Monteverdi's stunning Selva Morale e Spirituale - “Moral and Spiritual Forest”. It is one of my all-time favorite baroque works. You’ll hear stunning singing and a great baroque band of instruments.
