Part of the Leeds Baroque - 25th Anniversary Season
Add to my Calendar 18-05-2025 17:00 18-05-2025 19:00 36 Madrigals and ballets by Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1543) The ancient and atmospheric church of St Andrew, Kildwick in Craven provides the perfect spring outing. Join Leeds baroque Choir and Consort to experience some of Monteverdi’s most ravishing concerted music, dramatic, passionate and delightfully cheeky by turns. Most of it was written for the Mantuan court and uses the singers and instrumentalists he assembled for his opera L’Orfeo in 1607, including solo voices, choir and a five-part Baroque string consort with harpsichord and theorbo.
