Synagogue and Salon: The Hebrew Psalms and Madrigals of Salamone Rossi

Cleveland's premier professional choir invites you on a walk through Renaissance-era Mantua, experiencing the music of the streets, the court, and the synagogues - the pioneering sacred choral music for Jewish services, and also the secular music Rossi wrote for the Court of Mantua, where he, along with his contemporary Monteverdi, was among the most celebrated of composers of the time. Delight in new Renaissance-style dances choreographed by Assistant Conductor Anna O’Connell and violinist Phaik Tzhi Chua. Charles Edward McGuire, PhD, from Oberlin College & Conservatory, will present a pre-concert talk, 45 minutes prior to the performance.
