Spiritus Chamber Choir, Calgary’s award-winning chamber choir, along with Early Music Voices Concert Series, is delighted to present Monteverdi’s outstanding Vespers of 1610. This special Calgary performance features the early wind ensemble, The Whole Noyse, from San Francisco, and several instrumental specialists from Vancouver. Calgary’s VoiceScapes form the small ensemble of soloists, with Spiritus Chamber Choir as the main chorus.
Come hear the original “surround sound” music that reverberated around San Marco Basilica in Venice 400 years ago. Grand in scale, Monteverdi’s masterpiece was the most ambitious and groundbreaking work of sacred music before the great passions of J.S. Bach.
This is the first time this work is being mounted in Calgary with period instruments: cornetts, sackbuts, curtal, recorders, violone and theorbo – to name a few!
