Bach Collegium San Diego Presents Love & Revolution
March 9, 2024: 7:56 PM
The Invention of Modern Music Madrigals of Claudio Monteverdi, Sigismondo D’India
Bach Collegium San Diego (BCSD), one of the country’s leading ensembles, is performing enchanting early music that has been dubbed as the invention of modern music. Claudio Monteverdi’s music broke the rules of Renaissance polyphony and created the foundations of modern music. Like Shakespeare, Monteverdi’s genius lay in his ability to communicate the full compass of human emotions, especially the most mysterious, tragic, and magical of them all–love.
BCSD is performing these pieces in collaboration with GRAMMY award-winning lutenist and conductor Stephen Stubbs.
