Monteverdi 2010: Celebrating the 400th anniversary of the publication of the Monteverdi Vespers of 1610
THE MONTEVERDI VESPERS of 1610
Boulder joins an international celebration of the 400th anniversary of Claudio Monteverdi's Vespers, music for virtuosic solo singing and double choir as well as sackbutt, cornetto, recorder, strings, lute and harpsichord. This thrilling and stylistically important music marks a turning point from the polyphony of the Renaissance to the melodic music of the early Baroque.
First United Methodist Church Director of Music Evanne Browne will lead the FUMC choir and other Boulder community ensemble members. Soloists include nationally and internationally known early music specialists. Free parking at both venues. Tickets and reservations at www.EarlyMusicColorado.org.
