Sensuous Madrigals and Playful Partsongs
Join us as we celebrate the joy of singing together. Through a programme of madrigals and partsongs by Monteverdi, John Dowland, and Barbara Strozzi, we cover a rich tapestry of emotional narratives, offering vivid expressions of love, longing, and divine inspiration.
