Collegium Musicum of London Chamber Choir – Monteverdi 1610 Vespers -7.30pm
Monteverdi 1610 Vespers
The acclaimed Collegium Musicum of London Chamber Choir, alongside an array of top-notch soloists and instrumentalists, present Monteverdi’s towering masterpiece of the early Baroque.
At once intimate and grand, prayerful and dramatic, exalted and sensual, Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers of the Blessed Virgin presents a dazzling array of textures and sonorities in brilliant instrumental writing, opulent choruses and moving solo arias and duets. The work is both unique and iconic, despite the fact that its performance history is relatively short. The first full public presentations of the work were in the 1930s, and recordings didn’t appear until the 1950s, making the Vespers an essentially modern presence.
