JESSICA HOUSE STEWARD – SOPRANO
STACEY HELLEY – MEZZO
KATHERINE HEATER – HARPSICHORD

The new enormously popular Italian music of the late 16th century disseminated slowly throughout Europe. As Louis XIV set up his Chapelle Royale in the late 17th century, his composers looked to Italian music of the previous century to develop French style. This iteration of Favolare Ensemble will explore one hundred years of the Italian style’s migration to Louis XIV’s court. We’ll perform daring cantatas by Barbara Strozzi, elegant duets by Monteverdi, Lully, le Camus, Rosenmüller, and Campra as well as songs by Caccini, Charpentier, and Cavalieri. You won’t be able to decide which you like better. We hope you’ll join us for an evening of gorgeous music!
