Mad About Madrigals: English and Italian Gems

You thought you knew madrigals: lots of “fa-la-la” and “hey-nonny-no”, right? Well, no! The sometimes virtuosic English and Italian madrigals you will hear at this concert will take you to some very unexpected places. The excellent soloists in Rufus Müller’s Performance Workshop will treat you to some well-known and many lesser-known gems of this long-lived period of music-making, mostly from the treasure trove of the late 16th- and early 17th-century. Gibbons (“The Silver Swan”), Weelkes, Byrd, yes, but also John Ward, Sigismondo D’India; and accompanied trios for mischievous women by Luigi Rossi.
