More About A Towering Masterpiece Comes to Connecticut
The Connecticut Choral Society is proud to announce a special presentation of “one of the greatest works of sacred music ever written” – the MONTEVERDI VESPERS 1610.
The concert is on April 14, 2024 at 3 pm at Trinity Episcopal Church in Newtown, CT.
The Connecticut Choral Society will perform together with the internationally acclaimed ORCHESTRANEXUS, Nexus Choral Artists, and renowned soloists Linda Sweetman-Waters, organ, and Max Vladimiroff, harpsichord under the direction of Maestro Eric Dale Knapp.
The MONTEVERDI VESPERS 1610, a masterwork of the early Baroque period, is an extraordinary and revolutionary setting of the five psalms, hymn, and Magnificat which make up the Vespers liturgy. It is a grand scale production with multiple choirs, soloists, harpsichord, organ and orchestra that features majestic choruses, poignant duets, and virtuosic solos of breathtaking beauty.
The audience can expect a grand scale treat as well. Listeners will be seated in the center of a performance in the round, surrounded by soloists, orchestra and various vocal ensembles, as if in a sacred embrace. At times they may even hear the call of angels from high above.
This glorious masterpiece is seldom performed live and in its entirety.
The Connecticut Choral Society, led by Conductor and Artistic Director Eric Dale Knapp, is known for its high musical performance standards, outstanding contribution to the arts,and community outreach.
This Connecticut presentation is a rare opportunity for local audiences to experience a live performance of the unforgettable masterpiece that has captivated performers and audiences for over four centuries.
