The University of Alberta Department of Music presents Monteverdi’s rarely performed 1610 Vespero della Beata Vergine. The Winspear will be reverberating in this unforgettable performance by Luminous Voices of Calgary joined together with Rosa Barocca and specialized instrumentalists from across the continent. Considered groundbreaking and a masterpiece of the early Baroque, Monteverdi's Vespers includes virtuosic vocal and instrumental writing and ornamentation in combination with opulent antiphonal choruses and intimate solos, duets and trios.
