This special event for our 25th season is truly special. Come hear the world’s foremost early string and wind ensembles, The King’s Noyse (directed by David Douglass) and Piffaro (directed by Joan Kimball and Robert Weimken) together with soprano Ellen Hargis join forces in a gorgeous program of music that entertained the late Renaissance nobles of Ferrara. Works by composers Cipriano de Rore, Carlo Gesualdo, Luzzasco Luzzaschi, and their compatriots will showcase the adventurous music which ushered in the early Baroque style of the 17th century. You won’t want to miss the chance to hear the glorious sounds of these two virtuosic ensembles.
