Monteverdi Madrigals: Songs of Love and War

In celebration of their 25th concert season, Boston Early Music Festival begin their series at the Morgan with a performance featuring their Chamber and Vocal Ensembles performing Monteverdi madrigals. A pre-concert talk precedes the 7:30pm performance.

Published near the end of his extraordinarily long career, prior to his last operas, Book Eight contains the most important secular works of Monteverdi’s final decades. In a revolutionary juxtaposition, the volume presents both familiar portrayals of love through song and the stirring rhythms of his newly reimagined depiction of war in music, giving this iconic repertoire unparalleled contrasts.
