Please join us for an Open Rehearsal of the upcoming concert "In the Shadow of Monteverdi" as part of Canada's Culture Days!
Sunday, September 26th, from 3:30-5:30 pm at
MacNeill Baptist Church, 1145 King St. W., Hamilton.
An Open Rehearsal with Capella Intima- Music of the early Baroque. Come and see how it all comes together- starting with the very first reading, and through the rehearsal process!
Capella Intima is a vocal and instrumental ensemble specializing in the music of the 17th century. The programme being presented next month, "In the Shadow of Monteverdi" features three singers (tenor, baritone and bass) with a continuo group of portative organ and gamba. This concert includes music both sacred and secular by composers who were Venetian contemporaries of the great Claudio Monteverdi, but never achieved his "superstar" status. History has not been kind to Grandi, Legrenzi, Bonini, and the others, but their music was a major contribution to the explosion of musical creativity in early 17th- century Venice.
This open rehearsal will include discussion of "historically-informed performance", as well as addressing issues of ensemble, blend, and how concensus is reached within the ensemble. For all singers, lovers of Baroque music, and anyone who wants to hear something really beautiful!
This event, like all Culture Days events, is free!
Refreshments will be served.
