2009/10 concert season

Dulces Exuviae, lutenist John Lenti and soprano Linda Tsatsanis from Seattle, join Passamezzo Moderno for our program, Across the Alps. Vocal and instrumental music share equally in a program presenting the connection between Italy and Germany in the early Baroque. The concert is in chronological order to show how music developed during the first fifty years of the 17th century - early German Baroque music was Italian in character before developing its own voice. Composers include Claudio Monteverdi, Johann Hermann Schein, Heinrich Schütz, Dario Castello, Samuel Scheidt and others.
