2010 marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine, a monumental work that displays its composer's brilliant assimilation of styles-old and new, sacred and secular-and his masterful command of a wide palette of musical structures including psalm settings, sacred concertos, hymns, motets, and sonatas, all bound together by Gregorian chant. ABS and the American Bach Choir begin the new year with a stunning performance of this splendid music from the Venetian school.
Free preconcert lectures begin one hour prior to each performance.
