Programme Note
Get away from the dark winter nights and be transported to the splendour of sixteenth and seventeenth century Venice, and a stunning evening of Renaissance choral music.
Sherborne Chamber Choir is joined by one of the country’s top period ensembles for a thrilling programme of multi-part works for choir and instruments designed for the vast spaces of St Mark’s by Gabrieli, Monteverdi and some of their lesser known contemporaries, along with instrumental music.
Performed in the magnificent setting of Sherborne Abbey, this concert promises rich harmonies, thrilling contrasts, and the vibrant sound world that made Venice one of Europe’s great musical capitals.
